However, Aakash Chopra and Deep Dasgupta have pointed out that India’s transition phase with young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Arshdeep Singh stepping into big roles might give England the edge.
India's transition will give an edge to England!!
In the same video posted by Star Sports on X, Deep Dasgupta said, “It is a young team; it has a young captain. The team is going through a transition, so that will give England a slight advantage, and they have the home advantage as well, but it (the series) will be very close. I'd say 3-2 in favor of England.”

Well, the former Indian pacer Varun Aaron is confident that India will win the Test series, as he noted that both teams have their weaknesses. Aaron said in the video, “I definitely think India is going to win the series. They've got a lot of experienced players. There's a lot of inexperience in the England camp. And also, I'm Indian. So obviously I'm going to back India.”
Sanjay Bangar said, “I think it'll be a drawn series. 2-2. Because I believe that the Indian team has a very good bowling attack. Whereas the England team has a comparatively experienced batting line-up.”
