The first Test between India and England begins on Aug 4.
Indian team has been on a high especially after defeating Australia in Australia for the second consecutive time and then beating England at home to qualify for the World Test Championship 2021 final.
Though they lost the final to New Zealand, Yuzvendra Chahal feels that captain Virat Kohli will take India to a series win on English soil.
"This series will be so exciting. I see India as the favorite to win the series. We are high on confidence after defeating Australia in their own backyard. I am sure that Virat bhaiya will take India to a series win in England," Chahal told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview.

"Be it batting, bowling, or fielding, we have all the boxes ticked. We have batsmen who can take the game away from the opposition at any point of time or in any situation. We have bowlers who can get breakthroughs at any time. We have Virat bhaiya, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit bhaiya, and Rishabh who are in great form," Chahal further said.
"In bowling, we have Bumrah, Shami bhaiya, and Ishant bhaiya. Ashwin and Jadeja are also there. So, we have a strong side to win the series in England with," the Indian spinner said.
Chahal, who was recently in Sri Lanka for the white-ball series, said that he is working on his batting skills. The leg-spinner has so far played 56 ODIs and 49 T20Is for India.
"I am working on my batting. I have been batting in the nets. Be it fast bowlers or spinners, we have all been batting in the nets, because we have to score runs and get runs for the team in certain situations. I am preparing myself for such situations. Apart from bowling, I take out time for batting in the nets every day," Chahal signed off.
