1st Test Preview: India's home dominance faces test vs England

India's spin maestros, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, will face England at the RGI Stadium in Hyderabad, where the pitch is expected to offer turn and grip. England's chances are boosted by the absence of Virat Kohli in the opening two Tests, leaving a significant gap in India's middle order. Despite these challenges, India remains a formidable opponent, with Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul anchoring the batting order and KS Bharat taking wicket-keeping duties.
