India Faces Monumental Old Trafford Challenge Ahead Of Crucial Fourth Test Against England
Old Trafford: With England leading 2-1 in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, Shubman Gill-led India are under pressure to deliver a series-leveling performance when the fourth Test begins at Old Trafford, Manchester on July 23.
India’s agonising 22-run defeat in a thrilling Test at Lord’s handed England both momentum and a crucial advantage in the closely contested five-match series. Now, as the action shifts to Manchester, India must not only overcome a determined Ben Stokes-led England, but also a dismal historical record at Old Trafford.
India first played a Test match at the iconic ground in 1936, and have played nine Tests in Manchester without securing a single victory. The last time India featured at the venue was during their tour of England in 2014. It also means that playing a Test match in Manchester will be a fresh experience for most members of the current Indian squad.
