The five -Test series between India and England will start from 20 June. Whose first match will be played in the headingley of Leeds. The record of the Indian team has not been special. India last won the last match here in 2002. On the other hand, if we talk about the head to head record of India vs England on this ground, then both of them have clashed in a total of seven Tests so far. Out of which England have won four matches, then India has won only while there has been a Test draw.
The Indian team, which went on tour to England, has more young players. Those who do not have the experience of playing Test in Leeds, including captain Shubman Gill himself. Only four Indian players are in this team who have played here before. These include star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja and wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant.
In the first Test against England, Indian fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja have a chance to create history in Leeds. Incidentally, all three have played one match here and all three have taken two wickets each. If out of these three, whoever succeeds in taking 6 wickets in the Test to be played from June 20, then he will become the highest wicket -taking bowler for India.
