Earlier, the Ben Stokes-led England side took little time to surprise India by taking a 1-0 lead in the five-Test match series. It was only India’s fourth defeat in the longest format in the past 10 years. Looking to prove it as an aberration rather than a recurring trend, as a team with the best W/L ratio in the format at home since 2014, India will take field against England in the second Test starting February 2 in Visakhapatnam.

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Srikar Bharat(w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav
