IND vs ENG: The 4-Test series between India and England is scheduled to begin from 5 February. While England is looking to settle the 4-0 defeat in the previous series, India is watching the dangerous players of England.

Significantly, England are in amazing form and have won 5 consecutive Tests on foreign soil. Along with batting and bowling, England have also raised their fielding levels. Many players have the ability to change the course of the match on their own.

If India is to win the series 2–0 or larger than this, then these 5 England players will have to be controlled.

1) Joe Root

Shortly before, England Test captain Joe Root’s form was under question. Some cricket experts have even agreed that he is no longer part of the Fab Four. But with a double century and a century in the Test series against Sri Lanka, Root has silenced his critics. India’s pitches suit his style of play. Keeping the bat of the England captain calm will be a challenge for the Indian bowlers.

2) James Anderson

There has been periodic speculation on the retirement of bowler James Anderson, who took 600 Test wickets last year. However, this has not reduced his performance at all. He is still as sharp. On flat pitches like India, where the other fast bowler craves the wicket, he has duped the batsman with his art. He has already dismissed former batsman Sachin Tendulkar on several tours to India.

3) Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali can prove fatal with both the ball and bat against India. On his tour to England, he has misled Indian batsmen many times with his spin, but this time he would like to do this feat on Indian ground. At the same time, he is known for sharing 50 to 100 runs for tail batsmen in the lower middle order.

4) Jofra Archer

This England fast bowler has been in the news for the last 2 years. Archer has plagued the batsmen with his sharp bouncer in the Test after winning the ODI World Cup first for England. It will be interesting to see what strategy the Indian batsmen make against Archer. A batsman like Smith has troubled the Ashes. Maybe this time he targets Virat Kohli.

5) Ben Stokes

This much is said about the player. Ben Stokes has proved that he has the ability to reverse the stand of the Test match alone on the basis of ball or bat. Who can forget England’s win by 1 wicket in the last Ashes. It will not be wrong if it is said that he is the backbone of the England team in this tour.
