India vs England 2024 Test series Telecast Channel: Where to watch and live streaming details in India
India will take on England at home in a grueling five-match Test series from January 25 to March 11. The much-hyped series will kick off with the opening Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The other four Tests will be played in Visakhapatnam (February 2-6), Rajkot (February 15-19), Ranchi (February 23-27) and Dharamsala (March 7-11).
The India vs England Test series is being billed as a contest between the visitors’ Bazball approach with the bat and the hosts’ quality spin bowling line-up. Under the Ben Stokes-Brendon McCullum captain-coach combination, the Englishmen have tasted plenty of success with their ultra-aggressive approach. However, there are some doubts about whether the ploy will work on spinning pitches in India.
If we look at England’s Test record in India, they have won 14 and lost 22 of the 64 matches they have played. The remaining 28 matches have ended in a draw.
England, however, remain the last side to have registered a Test series win against India in India. They beat the hosts 2-1 in a four-match series in 2012.
