Views:
India is going against England for the (1st) Test match in the five test match series of the England Tour of India 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
The headline of this match -
Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara or Ajinkya Rahane are not a part of the Playing XI for the first time since November 2011.
At England's end, off-spinner Shoaib Bashir will be unavailable for the first Test due to delay in visa issuance.
The first Test of the five match Test Series between India and England, played in Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
India has been unbeatable on home soil over the last (12) years.
This time, things are different, as the strongest and dominant players are not a part. India’s spinners Ashwin and Jadeja are surely a part of the team. England’s chances of winning the match could be higher as Kohli is absent from the match. Kohli has been a robust figure in Test cricket.
Pitch Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has always been more suited to batters, particularly in white-ball cricket. The flat circumstances frequently benefit the team batting first. On the penultimate day, the surface progressively breaks, allowing bowlers to vary their balls. The pitch is expected to give a turn and grip offering strength to the spinners.

The average temperature in the Telangana city is from (30) degrees Celsius in the morning and (19) degrees Celsius after sunset.
