In a highly anticipated Test match, England (ENG) will host India (IND) at Headingley, Leeds, for the inaugural clash from June 20 to June 24, starting at 3:30 PM IST. Shubman Gill is a newly appointed skipper in the Indian team, while Ben Stokes will continue as the captain for England.
India faced England in a Test match for the last time in 2024 in the 5th Test match of a 5-Test match series at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. In that match, England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bat first. However, the match outcome favored India as Rohit Sharma, a former Indian skipper, led the team to victory by an innings and 64 runs. With that match, the England tour of India in 2024 concluded with India winning the Test series by 4-1.
Considering the recent five toss outcomes for the Indian team, they won the toss in four outings, but won only one match. However, after losing the toss, India lost the match as well, and one match ended in a draw. Meanwhile, the England team won the toss on three occasions, but won only one match. However, England has its own exceptional record of winning all Test matches after losing the toss. Prior to ENG vs IND 1st Match, these toss outcomes should be weighed as the captain winning the toss can take advantage of the favourable conditions.
