They played against each other in the 1st match of the series at the Rajiv Gandhi Internationa Stadium in Hyderabad where India dominated the first three days but the game turned around from the fourth day onwards and England eventually went on to win the game. England leads the series 1-0 so far while India is eyeing to make a comeback.

While it’s a fierce battle between both these teams, there is going to be a good battle between the players individually as well. Let’s take a look at some player battles to watch out for -

Rohit Sharma vs James Anderson

Rohit Sharma is the skipper of the Indian side and looked really comfortable in both innings of the first Test, despite not reaching a huge total. While subcontinent tracks are known to support spinners, the danger that legendary James Anderson can bring with him due to his timeless abilities can never be sidelined.

Anderson has a stellar record in Test cricket (690 wickets), which is second to none, and with India losing the opening Test, Rohit Sharma might be under pressure while facing a timeless legend.
