Challenges for Team India
The tour to England is a significant challenge for the Indian cricket team. They have not won a Test series in England for the past 17 years, with their last series win being in 2007. In their most recent tour in 2021-22, the series ended in a 2-2 draw. Despite being ahead 2-1 before the final Test, India lost the last match, resulting in the series being drawn. Additionally, India has lost both World Test Championship finals held in England. This upcoming tour will be a tough test for Rohit Sharma and his team.
