In an interview with Mid-Day today, Holding gave his views on the ongoing five-Test series between India and England. The first Test of the series ended in a stalemate at Trent Bridge, with the second Test scheduled to begin tomorrow at Lord’s.
Holding, who is a member of the commentary panel for the India vs England Test series, believes Virat Kohli and his men are the favorites to win.
Fans should note that India have not won a Test series on English soil since 2007. They lost by scorelines of 0-4, 1-3 and 1-4 in the last three Test series against England away from home.
Michael Holding explains why India are the outright favorites to win
Michael Holding gave his explanation on why the visitors are the favorites to win the ongoing Test series in England. He believes that playing in the ICC World Test Championship Final against New Zealand in June would have helped India adjust to the conditions.
Holding added that the Indian pacers would perform well enough in the English conditions to give their team a series victory.
The second Test of the India vs England series begins tomorrow at 11:00 AM Local Time (3:30 PM IST) in London. It will be interesting to see which team takes the lead in the series.
