Former South African pace ace Dale Steyn has backed England to clinch the upcoming five-Test series against India, citing home advantage and the impact of the Bazball approach. Speaking on ESPNcricinfo, Steyn predicted a 3-2 win in England’s favour, praising Ben Stokes’ leadership and the team's aggressive style of play.
While acknowledging India’s strong bowling unit particularly pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj Steyn suggested that England’s familiarity with home conditions gives them a clear edge. He also highlighted how India’s recent overseas Test performances, though competitive, haven’t consistently translated into series victories.
The much-anticipated series is expected to be a high-octane contest, with both sides boasting firepower across departments. However, Steyn’s verdict underscores the challenge India faces in adapting to England’s conditions and countering their fearless batting strategy.
