A young Indian squad has travelled to England to take on the hosts for a five-match Test series. India, captained by youngster Shubman Gill, will be tested as the line-up misses the likes of superstar batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Friday’s contest, the first Test played in Headingley, Leeds, also marks India’s opening campaign for the ICC World Test Championship. The series, previously known as the Pataudi Trophy, has been renamed the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and is expected to deliver plenty of drama.
India have recently been dominant against England, winning four out of five Tests. India, however, last conquered England in their backyard back in 2007. In 2021-2022, India’s escapade in England yielded a 2-2 score in a five-match series.
Will India’s relatively young, dynamic squad weave magic in 2025? Cricket fans are all geared up to catch the action in full glory.

Some Rahul Dravid Nostalgia
Sharing a heartfelt anecdote from their childhood, an ‘X’ user recounted the 2002 Test between England and India at the Headingley.
“As a 9 year old boy who had just started watching test cricket seriously, this is the venue where I found my first cricketing hero who went on to be a great role model for me in various pursuits of my life. He came out to bat number 3 after Dada chose to bat first on a green top wicket with damp and overcast conditions and played a knock for the ages,” the user wrote.
“This Indian 1st innings batting performance remains one of my favorites & not just for cricketing reasons. It also taught me quite early in my life the importance of weathering the storm & surviving that tough period, after which the runs start to flow.”
Calling the match and India’s scorecard an inspiration, the cricket fan and ‘X’ user concluded by adding, “Whenever I have felt stuck in my life, I have turned to India’s 1st innings batting in 2002 for inspiration.”
