India are currently trailing in the five-match series against England after a surprising defeat in the first Test match at Hyderabad. A shocking collapse in the second innings saw them end up well behind the finishing line despite being ahead in the game for a majority portion. Both India’s batting and bowling didn’t turn up in the second innings and they looked passive under pressure. The likes of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer have their runs dried up and the spinners were not able to get wickets resulting in Ollie Pope taking the game away from India. Ben Stokes and Brandon McCullum’s combined strategy hit India hard causing them to concede the lead to England in the Test series. They will face again in the second Test match at Visakhapatnam starting from February 2. 'Fake News' Virat Kohli's Brother Vikas Kohli Refutes Claims of Star Batsman Missing India vs England First Two Tests Due to Mother's Health Concerns (See Post).

Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium Pitch Report

The pitches at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium have been batting friendly but have also assisted quicker bowlers and the spinners as the match wears on like most wickets in the country. The pitch is likely to be spin friendly with India trying to take home advantage, but it is unlikely to have a lot of bounce to be available for the spinners and the turn is also likely to be slow.
