3 batters who can cause trouble to Indian bowlers during India-England Test series

The English team is determined to replicate the incredible success they achieved in 2012 when they won a Test series in India after 27 years. That was also the last time India lost a home Test series. It is not going to be an easy task for the home side to trounce this English team and in this article, we will take a look at English 3 batters who can cause trouble to Indian bowlers in the upcoming Test series.

1. Joe Root

An expected name in this list, Joe Root, will be the biggest priority for Indian bowlers. The former English captain has played 10 Test matches in India where he has scored 952 runs at an exceptional average of 50.10. Unlike other batters from ‘SENA’ countries who have had a challenging time playing in India, Joe Root has enjoyed his time in India. These stats suggest that the 33-year-old will be a big threat to the Indian bowlers and his wicket will be a prized possession for them.

2. Ben Stokes

The English skipper, Ben Stokes, is a man of big occasions for his team. Stokes has always stepped up whenever his team needed him the most. This series is arguably the toughest challenge in his captaincy tenure and the experienced all-rounder will be eager to perform with the bat. 

In Test cricket, Stokes has not had much success with the bat in Indian conditions but his limited overs record in India reflects his ability to perform in these conditions. In the recently concluded ODI World Cup he played some notable knocks and the English fans will be hoping for similar performances in Test cricket as well. 

3. Ben Duckett

The aggressive left-handed English opener has been one of the best proponents of the ‘Bazball’ philosophy. His positive intent was on display in the Ashes and Duckett will be looking to repeat those performances but this time in India. 

He has only played a couple of Test matches in India but the opener had a brilliant series against Pakistan when England toured Pakistan in 2022. That experience will help him to take on the opposition and the Indian bowlers should be wary of him.
