India’s cricket captain, Rohit Sharma, has expressed caution ahead of the team’s upcoming five-match Test series against England, stating that he does not consider his squad to be ‘unbeatable.’ Despite India’s impressive 12-year unbeaten record at home, Sharma emphasized the need for consistent performance to secure victory against their formidable opponents.
Reflecting on the team’s recent success, particularly their triumph over South Africa in the second Test at Cape Town, Sharma acknowledged the boost in confidence but remained mindful of the distinct challenges posed by the upcoming series against England.
The first Test is scheduled to commence in Hyderabad, with Sharma underscoring the significance of strategic gameplay and the absence of complacency, despite India’s formidable track record on home soil.
Notably, India’s unbroken streak at home dates back to 2012, with England being the last team to defeat them on their own turf under the leadership of Alastair Cook. Sharma’s apprehension about labeling the team as ‘unbeatable’ reflects a pragmatic approach as they gear up to face England in the highly anticipated series.
