Legends such as Ian Botham, Andrew Flintoff and Alastair Cook have left an indelible mark on this rivalry between England and India, while Indian stars Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly have also left their mark.
1. Edgbaston Test 2018
The Edgbaston Test between India and England at its home ground of Edgbaston proved an exciting contest between these two sides, who seemed evenly matched before England had the edge with bowlers Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes providing most wickets. India was affected by Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s absence but Virat Kohli did his best to keep India competitive throughout.
At first it appeared the first Test would end in a draw, but England performed exceptionally on day three to secure victory and claim an 181 run lead over India. Conditions on that particular afternoon were overcast and dry allowing England bowling team to make full use of overcast skies by dominating middle session by skittling India out for 161 runs in just 68 overs.
India’s hopes rest heavily with Kohli and Dinesh Karthik as they chased an unlikely 194 run target with five wickets remaining in hand. Both batsmen struggled with the ball but were denied by some impressive fielding from England’s side – two spilt slip catches from Dawid Malan and Pandya being dismissed off Stokes made it more challenging than anticipated for India to reach its target.
Kohli battled hard against England, helped by some brilliant batting from Ishant Sharma and an unbroken 57-run partnership between Umesh Yadav and Umesh Yadav for India to reach 182-8, just 31 runs short of England’s total. But soon afterwards England secured their victory when Kohli was dismissed off Stokes after scoring an astonishing 149 not out and celebrated England’s 1000th test victory together – as euphoric Joe Root embraced Sam Curran before celebrating their joint 1,000th victory euphorically!
2. India vs England ODI Series
India and England ODI Series is of paramount significance to India national cricket team. It presents an invaluable opportunity to test their team against foreign conditions and evaluate who would make up a winning World Cup squad. In addition, players will be able to gain experience and demonstrate how quickly they adapt to new environments.
Rohit Sharma’s side were undefeated in the ODI series against England, culminating with a five-wicket win in the third match en route to a 2-1 series win and making Rohit Sharma history by becoming the first Indian captain ever to win an ODI series abroad. Rishabh Pant also left his mark with his match-winning century.
England haven’t enjoyed a positive start to this series and their chances of winning remain tenuous. Their difficulties with bat are well documented while their unwillingness to play the game and take risks is cause for alarm.
However, their recent win against South Africa demonstrated England can be dangerous when given a chance to play. They are expected to adopt a bolder strategy in Hyderabad and push hard back against India.
Shikhar Dhawan of India has been in fine form and could prove pivotal in this series against England. The left-hander scored centuries in both matches against them, which poses a formidable threat to English bowlers. Dhawan is also renowned for being a very reliable finisher who can help the innings with his runs; one of India’s premier batsmen at number seven who has an integral part to play in any successful run chase.
3. India vs England T20I Series
India and England T20I Series matches are eagerly anticipated, and one of the most anticipated T20 matches ever played. Both sides boast impressive records in this format and this match should serve as an opportunity for them to make an impressionful statement against one another. Expect plenty of runs during what promises to be an explosive affair!
Virat Kohli has been on top form in this tournament and will aim to maintain his impressive form against England. The Indian captain has scored four fifty-plus scores during knockout stage games of this competition and would love nothing better than adding another fifty against an English side.
The men in blue will look to make amends for their 10-wicket defeat at Jos Buttler’s team in 2022 by reaching this edition’s final and claiming their first World Cup victory since 2007.
India and England have played 23 T20Is against one another with India winning 12 to England’s 11 wins – so this match promises to be thrilling.
Jofra Archer bowled a brilliant delivery outside off stump to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav for 47 runs, mistiming his attempt at lifting it towards long on and giving Chris Jordan enough time to secure the catch.
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav formed an important partnership, taking India past par score with ease. Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel added some late runs for India; Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel then added more late runs before Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel added some late runs of their own for Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel added some late runs as hosts; England will hope Moeen Ali and Harry Brook can put together a formidable partnership at Providence Stadium;
4. India vs England Test Series
India and England Test Series has long been one of the greatest cricket rivalries, and this five-match series at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium promises to be no different. The inaugural Test begins Thursday, January 25 and will be shown live on Jio TV.
India will make full use of their spin-friendly pitches during this long-format engagement at home in 2023-24, which could prove crucial to their efforts at becoming a dominant force on home soil in recent years.
This series will also be significant for England, who hope to maintain their comeback under their new captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum in longer formats such as Test cricket. Since he took charge in 2022, England have won 13 out of 18 Test matches he’s overseen, including home series victories over both New Zealand and South Africa as well as an emphatic three-nil defeat of Pakistan at home.
However, it remains uncertain whether England can keep up their momentum against an Indian team featuring several quality all-rounders and bowlers. England tends to play high-risk cricket that requires long periods of focus before yielding any reward, making sustaining long-term momentum difficult.
Both teams have made changes to their squads for the upcoming Test series, with Royal Challengers Bangalore fast bowler Akash Deep earning his debut call-up to India from Royal Challengers Bangalore fast bowler Akash Deep. KL Rahul returns after missing the second Test against South Africa due to a groin injury – this will mark his first appearance for India since April 2017! The opening Test match of this series will mark Jonny Bairstow reaching 100 Test matches as only 17th English player have achieved this milestone since 17 other milestones have reached it in previous series!
5. India vs England T20I Series
India finally made history on Thursday when they reached the men’s T20 World Cup final, following nearly 10 years of waiting. India produced a complete display with bat and ball against England – giving them another humiliation just two years ago at this point in time – before pulling out an emphatic victory at Providence Stadium, Guyana for their maiden triumph over their former enemies.
Jos Buttler and company will need to step up their game if they hope to challenge India again. England attempted to confuse their spinners by pushing left-hand batters higher up the order; this backfired spectacularly as Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel took no prisoners with their bowling; both shared three wickets between them while Jasprit Bumrah used an accurate slow off-cutter that traped Phil Salt leg before any damage could be done by him.
India and England T20I series will take place across multiple venues across India and will be broadcast live on Sony Sports channels and SonyLIV app, with Jio TV coverage also provided for all matches. The first match will take place in Delhi on January 23, while its follow-up in Mumbai on January 26.
