Who can shine from India in England series

In 2011 the experience of VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag could not avoid a 4-0 scoreline. The ball swings in the air and this time around the likes of Shikhar Dhwan, Virat Kohli, Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Murali Vijay, Gambhir will be tested against England best bowlers of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Steve Finn. As it is a five match test series the first two practice matches  will decide the opening combination as Shikhar Dhawan and Murali Vijay have not been able to put good partnership at the top in 2014 and with Gambhir coming in the opening partnership problem may be resolved. Coming in number 3 the solid Pujara has been in sublime touch and has the ability to play long innings and it will be challenge for the young Indian batsman to put huge totals on the board so that the pressure is not much on the bowlers who have come under scrutiny for the lackluster bowling.

This time Indian bowling short of experience but the swinging conditions will be conducive for the likes Bhuvneshawar Kumar, M Shami, Varun Aaron, Pankaj Singh, Ishwar Pandey, Ishant Sharma. The Indian team have good spinners in form of Ashwin and R Jadjea who is an excellent fielder and bowl long spells. Losing the test series against Newzeland which India could have won  easily if the batsman have applied much better.

The captaincy of MS Dhoni outside subcontient has been poor. When the other team are struggling Dhoni tatics looks bizarre and let the opponent to score big. This tour provides an opportunity for him to improve record and leave the bad memories of losing matches outside India.
