SWOT Analysis of the Indian team for England Tests

Weaknesses:

Even though Indians start as overwhelming favorites, it is not as though they are without holes. The holes though are not glaring. Indians have not yet mastered the art of dominating spin. Part-timers have got wickets and India, on quite a few times, was saved by the lower order. So if England pacemen and Ben Stokes, in particular, can get the ball to reverse, they have the chance of blowing out the lower order.

The batsmen gifted their wickets to Moeen Ali in 2014. It will be interesting to see how they front up against him as well as Adil Rashid. Rashid, though not accurate, has shown he can bowl some wicket-taking ones amidst ordinary ones. Indian batsmen would do well to guard against complacency.
