Dhoni's teammate predicts this team will win in India vs England Test series, his name is...
Matthew Hayden's big prediction on India-England Test series
Matthew Hayden told 'Jio Hotstar', 'I don't think England's bowlers are that good, they have suffered many injuries and many players have also retired. This will be a big challenge for the host team. This series can go in India's favor.' Let us tell you that England's two most experienced bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad have retired from international cricket. Now England's bowling line-up has become very weak. Fast bowler Mark Wood is out of at least the first three Tests due to injury.
Fast bowler Jofra Archer will also not be able to play in the opening match and Gus Atkinson is still recovering from a hamstring strain. Meanwhile, India will take the field under the leadership of new captain Shubman Gill. Former Indian cricketers Deep Dasgupta and Sanjay Manjrekar have also made predictions about the India vs England Test series. Deep Dasgupta said, 'This is a young team, its captain is also young. The team is going through a phase of change, so England will have a slight advantage and they also have the advantage of playing on home ground, but the match will be very close. I would say England will win 3-2.'

Sanjay Manjrekar said, 'I think England has the edge. They are playing on their home ground and the Indian team is going through a phase of change, so I think England can win this time.'
India has not won any Test series on England soil for the last 18 years. India last won a Test series on England soil in the year 2007, when the team captained by Rahul Dravid defeated England 1-0 in a 3-match Test series.
India played the last Test series on England soil in 2021-22. This five-match Test series ended in a 2-2 draw.

Jaiswal sets the tone with another ton
The proof is in the pudding. His pulsating 101 on the opening day of the first Test against England in Headingley on Friday was his fifth century in his 21st Test. It also showed what a fantastic young opener the Mumbaikar is blossoming into with a third triple-digit score on his fourth trip on the road.

Root overtakes Jayasuriya to become 9th highest international cricket run-getter
Leeds [UK], June 22 (ANI): England batter Joe Root overtook Sri Lankan legend Sanath Jayasuriya to become the ninth-highest run-getter in international cricket on Saturday. Root achieved this upward movement in the charts during his side's first Test match against India at Leeds. During his innings, he scored 28 in 58 balls, with two fours. He ultimately fell to Jasprit Bumrah for the 10th time in 25 innings, averaging 29 against him. In 366 international matches, Root has scored 21,053 runs in 479 innings at an average of 49.30, with 54 centuries and 112 fifties; his best score is 262. He is England's top run-getter of all time across all formats, including Tests and ODIs. On the other hand, Jayasuriya, the SL legend, scored 21,032 runs in 651 innings at an average of 34.14, with 42 centuries and 103 fifties. His best score is 340. The top run-getter in international cricket is Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian icon. He has scored 34,357 runs in 664 matches in 782 innings at an average of 48.52, with 100 centuries and 164 fifties. His best score is 248*. In Test cricket, Root has scored 13,034 runs in 154 matches and 280 innings at an average of 50.71, with 36 centuries and 65 fifties. His best score is 262. In ODIs, he has made 7,126 runs at an average of 49.14 in 180 matches and 169 innings, with 18 centuries and 42 fifties.

Coming to the match, England ended day two on 209/3, with Ollie Pope (100*) and Harry Brook (0*) unbeaten. A half-century from Ben Duckett (62 in 94 balls, with nine fours) and his century partnership with Pope gave England a boost after the early dismissal of Zak Crawley. Jasprit Bumrah (three wickets) made problems for England with timely strikes but barely found support from other bowlers. England trails by 262 runs. England, on day one, won the toss and opted to bowl first. Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (101 in 159 balls, with 16 fours), skipper Shubman Gill (147 in 227 balls, with 19 fours and a six) and Rishabh Pant (134 in 178 balls, with 12 fours and six sixes) took India to 471. 430/4 at one point, skipper Ben Stokes (4/66) and Josh Tongue (4/86) caused a collapse.

India women's team suffers 1-5 to clinical Belgium at FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25
Antwerp [Belgium], June 21 (ANI): The Indian women's hockey team went down 1-5 against Belgium at the FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 on Saturday in Antwerp. In a thrilling contest that saw 17 penalty corners for Belgium, Deepika (6') gave India the lead before goals from Helene Brasseur (37', 55'), Lucie Breyne (41'), Ambre Ballenghien (54'), and Charlotte Englebert (58') sealed victory for the hosts. Notably, all five of Belgium's goals arose from penalty corners, said release. India endured a nervy start as Belgium came out pressing with intent, earning a penalty corner within the opening minute. The early scare was averted, and Savita soon followed up with a sharp save to keep the scoreboard untouched. An unforced error in India's half gifted Belgium possession again, but Vaishnavi stepped up with a crucial interception to shut the door. Sitting deep and absorbing waves of pressure, India waited patiently for their chance on the break. When it came, they made it count. Their first circle entry resulted in a penalty corner, and Deepika's shot took a deflection off a Belgian defender before finding the back of the net to put India ahead. As the second quarter unfolded, India did well in midfield to open up spaces despite the Belgian press. However, Belgium were in control of proceedings and found two more penalty corners, but India were up to the task. A skilful run from Navneet set up Salima Tete on the right flank, leading to two consecutive penalty corners. On the rebound, Navneet fired a thunderous shot inside the circle, but goalkeeper Elena Sotgiu made a good save. Minutes before half-time, Lisa Moors threatened to level the scores with a powerful strike from inside the circle, but India's goalkeeper Bichu Devi kept it out. Belgium entered the third quarter having made 10 circle entries to India's four, maintaining steady pressure on the defence. It took five penalty corners before Helene Brasseur finally converted to bring Belgium level. Two more penalty corners followed, and despite a series of sharp saves from Savita, Lucie Breyne struck from close range during yet another set-piece to give Belgium a 2-1 lead. India laboured to find a way back, probing through the flanks in search of an opening in the final quarter, but the Belgian defence remained largely untroubled in the final third. The final ten minutes, however, were completely dominated by the hosts. In the 54th minute, Ambre Ballenghien effectively sealed the contest with a well-taken goal to make it 3-1. Five minutes later, Helene Brasseur converted Belgium's fourth penalty corner, stretching the lead further. Just before the end, Charlotte Englebert added her name to the scoresheet, calmly slotting home a penalty stroke in the 58th minute to complete a comprehensive 5-1 win for Belgium. The Indian Women's Hockey Team will take on Belgium on Sunday. (ANI )
