India-England 5 Test series to begin tomorrow

India-England five-match Test series will begin tomorrow with opening clash at Rajkot which is a debutant as the Test venue.After their triumphs over West Indies and New Zealand the morale of Team India which is also ranked World No.1 now, is high. The Rajkot Test promises to be an engrossing contest. Four years back, in 2012 England posted a 2-1 win against India in a four-game rubber. Team England have several bright batsmen including skipper Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen. But, they have also been defeated by Bangladesh in a recent Test match in Dhaka and the two match series ended in 1-1 draw. On the other hand, Virat Kohli would be extremely keen to improve his team's batting against the visitors. On the bowling side also there are spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin whom Alastair Cook called a world-class bowler and compared his rapid rise to that of Graeme Swann.
