Facing India’s Seam Attack Is Going To Be Tough No Matter How Flat The Pitches Are, Says Ben Duckett
Sky Sports Cricket: Though a lot of spotlight is on the battle between England’s batters and India's famed spin attack for the upcoming five-match Test series, England opener Ben Duckett said the challenge coming from the hosts’ fast bowlers will also be tough for the visitors irrespective of how the pitches behave.
The last time England toured India in 2021, they won the opening game in Chennai. But after that crumbled to spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel, who took 60 wickets collectively, to get a 3-1 win for India.
For the upcoming series, Ashwin and Patel will be joined by Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department. In the fast-bowling unit, though they are missing Mohammed Shami due to heel injury, India have the services of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan.
