The first Test of the forthcoming England’s tour of India will begin from February 5 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
It is worth mentioning that Chennai will be hosting a Test match for the first time after more than four years. The last time this venue hosted a Test was in 2016 when batsman Karun Nair had scored a splendid triple century.
England, who had last won a Test match in Chennai in 1985, have lost all their three matches since then. In nine Tests against India in Chennai, England have won three as compared to India’s five victories.
