Rahul Dravid was the last Indian captain who won a test series in England. Now, the legandary batsman has made a prediction for the ongoing 5-match test series between India and England.
Dravid has predicted that Virat Kohli will join him as captains to have won a test series in England. 'The Wall' has predicted a 2-1 win in favour of India going into the 5-match test series.
Dravid, talking to BBC 5 Live Sport, said that the fitness of the pacers will be the key for India.
“I do think the Indian team has a good chance here but the key would be to take 20 wickets. I have no doubt that we will score runs at some stage but the key is to keep our fast bowlers fit. We have got a good crop of young pacers but it’s five Test matches in six weeks," he said.
“When we won here in 2007, the same bowling lineup played in all three matches and we were lucky that nobody got injured and that made a big difference. If we get our best bowling lineup on the park for at least four of the five games, we will give ourselves a good chance. I have to say India, I will say India 2-1,” Dravid added.
India have already lost Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the first three matches while Jasprit Bumrah won't be able to play the first match.
India won the 2011 test series in England under Dravid's leadership. However, they were soundly defeated in 2011 and 2014 under MS Dhoni.
