Key sentence:
- Former England cricketer, and legendary commentator David Lloyd, has declared the Indian team’ blazing favourites.
- The burden will also be on England’s openers to be better than they were in Sri Lanka.
- I assume India will win hands down probably 3-0 or 4-0.
Throughout the upcoming four-match Test series towards England that starts in Chennai on Friday, former England cricketer and legendary commentator David Lloyd have called the Indian team’ blazing favourites.’
As India defeated Australia:
On the back of away series wins, both teams will reach the match in the game’s longest format Though India defeated Australia 2-1 to win the Border-Gavaskar Cup, Sri Lanka was defeated 2-0 by Joe Root’s England.
As David Llyod stated:
God vouched against India during the latest Daily Mail column (written together with Nasser Hussain and Paul Newman), saying that the hosts are now the strongest team throughout the world which they showed after beating the Aussies in their very own backyard.
India is the raging favourites, but being underdogs would be a positive thing for England. It’s going to help them have two matches in Sri Lanka under what you would imagine would be identical circumstances. If I put my two bobs in there, anywhere in India,’ said Lloyd.
As further, David Llyod stated:
As they proved in beating Australia practically without a captain, India is the strongest throughout the world. They have a balanced squad as well as amazing batsmen. Nasser claims they will miss Jadeja, but if they move the way of spin, Axar Patel is a really strong bowler,” he continued.
Furthermore, Lloyd indicated how to challenge Virat Kohli’s India in the sequence of Tests. He said that it is important for English bowlers to keep the latter silent.
England’s openers to be better than they were in Sri Lanka:
Joe Root has a Virat Kohli to fit. And the bowlers in England need to keep Kohli quiet. The burden will also be on England’s openers to be better than they were in Sri Lanka. I was happy with Dom Sibley because he looked much better during his last innings,’ he further said.
Finally, a strong prediction of the four-match test series was made by the legendary commentator. Lloyd concluded, “I assume India will win hands down probably 3-0 or 4-0, but I would love to be proven wrong he stated.
