Former England cricketer Nick Knight has recently shared his views over the upcoming five-match Test series between India and England. He also called the clash “iconic,” and added that India is ready to counter-attack on anything England would throw at them as well.
In an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, Knight said that the tour would be a rematch as the last time they had played in India, the hosts won the four-match Test series 3-1 as well.
“For England, the way the global game is, it’s one of the iconic series. It was viewed very much that way when England went to India recently. And it’s a sort of rematch in conditions that will suit England. Whereas I see that in the previous two tours, I think India is so much better balanced and their new-ball bowling attack is so much more advanced than it has been on previous occasions,” he said.

The veteran cricketer, Nick Knight again felt that India had a great chance of winning the series even though England have the players like – James Anderson and Stuart Broad in the squad. And, who doesn’t know how dangerous they can be.
He again shared: “I feel like England were always going to win the series,” he stated. “But I am not brave enough to sit here and say England will win that series because of the way India has traveled recently, and certainly, going back to that Australian series.”

“I think with India, its resilience, its fight, its character, it’s never been beaten. It’s finding a way of problem-solving and getting through a situation and all of that sticks with me. And therefore, I cannot sit here and say England are going to win because India will find a way of countering anything England have got and that is going to be so watchable,” Nick Knight concluded.
The much-awaited Test series between England and India will begin next month as well.
