India vs England 2024, 1st Test – Stats Preview

India will square off against England in the opening Test match of the five-match series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad from Thursday onwards. Both teams will aim to draw first blood in the series and bring their best to the table.

England has won 13 out of their last 19 Test matches with Bazball and it will be interesting to see their approach on turning pitches. It will be challenging for the visitors as India has a lot of quality in their spin department.

India’s gun fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah needs another 10 wickets to get to the landmark of 150 wickets in Test format.

England’s veteran batter Joe Root needs 84 runs to complete 11500 runs in the red-ball version.

England skipper Ben Stokes, who might not bowl a lot due to knee issues, needs another three wickets to reach 200 wickets milestone.

Jonny Bairstow requires 196 runs to complete 6000 runs in the oldest format.
