With Indian cricket in transition, England fancy their chance

Key Points

Indias captain, Rohit Sharma, and coach, Rahul Dravid, would have begun this series believing a 5-0 win was loading..

On turning tracks, at home, no one could beat them, with their spinners in harness..

Technically their batsmen should have been so good at home and their spinners so incisive on turning tracks that this would be a no-contest.PTI..

England go into the third Test without Jack Leach, their lead spinner, but they wont fret because Indias batsmen have not played even moderate spinners well...

I am very excited because I have been playing with him for 12-13 years and to achieve this milestone of completing 500 Test wickets is a really big thing... he will complete his 500 wickets in Rajkot, in my hometown...
