5 reasons why India could win the Test series against England

Team balance

England & India Net Sessions

This squad has struck just the right balance in recent times which was not the case in 2014.

The opening combination is settled, Saha has filled in Dhoni's boots as far as wicket keeping is concerned, the pace attack is well rounded, India's long search for a genuine fast bowling all-rounder seems to have come to an end, with Pandya coming in, their captain and star batsman is in form, and of course they have the X-factor in Kuldeep Yadav, who, if he gets to play, can be the tipping point between the two sides.

India have all the odds stacked in their favour at this point. Now it remains to be seen whether they can convert their potential into a series-winning effort as they lock horns with the Englishmen.
