English cricket team in India in 2023–24

England saw initial success in their second innings, but a combined bowling attack by Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin saw India win by 106 runs, and level the series at 1-1.

In excellent form, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 214* (another career best performance) to help India post a 557 run lead.

[8] The fourth Test saw a century from Joe Root in the first innings, but England were halted at 353 with Ravindra Jadeja taking 4 wickets.

India could not close the lead set by England despite Dhruv Jurel scoring 90 runs and were halted by Shoaib Bashir's maiden 5 wicket haul.

A 72 run partnership by Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Gill helped India secure the series win.

[9] In the final record breaking test, India bowled out England early before Rohit and Gill both scored centuries, setting a target of 477.

It will all depend on how much the England batters allow these two Indian spinners (Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja) to take up space in their heads.

[24] Criticism was directed at the English preparation after the squad decided against playing a tour game in India, instead holding a 11-day training camp in Abu Dhabi.

Three uncapped players made the squad — Surrey paceman Gus Atkinson and off spinners Tom Hartley (Lancashire) and Shoaib Bashir (Somerset).

[27] On 21 January 2024, Harry Brook withdrew from the tour for personal reasons[28] and was replaced in the squad by Dan Lawrence.

[31] Bashir had returned home from Abu Dhabi in order to resolve a visa delay that prevented him from travelling to India with the rest of the squad.

[34] Virat Kohli withdrew from the first two Tests for personal reasons on 22 January;[35] Rajat Patidar was named his replacement.

[36] On 29 January, after the First Test, injured KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were ruled out of the Second,[37] and Sarfaraz Khan, Saurabh Kumar and Washington Sundar were added to India's squad.

[41] Shreyas Iyer and Avesh Khan were dropped, Kohli remained unavailable for selection, and Akash Deep earned his first Test call-up.
