    "editor1": "Michael Atherton: Former England captain Michael Atherton believes India\u2019s spin attack is better as compared to the visitors\u2019 line-up and added that the difference between the two spin departments will be a series-defining factor.\n\n<p>The pitches in India are expected to favour spinners hugely, with the highly-experienced quartet of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, and left-arm spin all-rounders of Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel present in the hosts\u2019 line-up. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England have a four-member spin-bowling attack in Jack Leach, leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, uncapped duo of left-arm spinner Tom Hartley and off-spinner Shoaib Bashir. From the quarter, only left-arm spinner Leach has played Tests previously in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I think India will win. Their spinners are better than England's and that will be the defining thing in the end. If you go to India, spin will play a big part, it historically has done and I suspect it always will do. India do have a very strong seam attack as well,\" said Atherton on Sky Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India have emerged victorious in 16 consecutive Test series at home ever since they lost 2-1 to England in 2012. \"India's four spinners are very different to England's. They have two left-arm finger spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. They have a wrist spinner in Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the greatest spinners of all time.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"England have a solid left-arm spinner in Jack Leach and then three very inexperienced spinners after that with Tom Hartley, Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed. It will be a particular challenge for them but the selectors see a high ceiling for them.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The upcoming India-England Test series will begin from Hyderabad on January 25, followed by other matches at Visakhapatnam (February 2-6), Rajkot (February 15-19), Ranchi (February 23-27) and Dharamshala (March 7-11).<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
