Both India and England are two strong sides and the contest between the players would be nothing short of thrilling. The Kohli-Anderson battle has fueled the fire of the series and there are no two thoughts about the series producing some high-quality cricket. Pietersen took it to Twitter to express his feelings on the England-India face-off. He also pointed that the hosts will have the home advantage but the team will require a spinner and the top-order needs to score, else the visitors will have the edge.

“It’ll be a fascinating few weeks of Test Cricket. Eng v India always presents a tough battle. Fiercely competitive. Desperation to win. England have a depleted team but have home ground advantage. England NEED a top 3 that scores & a spinner or it’s India who’ll win!” the tweet read.

The fans went all over Twitter to express their happiness after Bumrah picked a wicket early on. As this series marks the beginning of the second cycle of the ICC World Test Championship, both teams would be keen to exude their fiefdom and start the series on a positive note. This makes the clash even more fascinating for the cricket on-lookers as they are watching the exciting action unfold.
