Former England cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Dominic Cork recently talked about the upcoming four-match Test series between India and England. Both former players feel India are favourite going into the series. Pietersen also said it would be interesting to see Kohli take over the reins of captaincy following Rahane`s recent triumph as skipper against Australia. There are many dynamics to be considered and both feel this series is going to be an interesting one.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, former English batsman Kevin Pietersen highlighted why India are favourites since England haven’t taken their best team, "India’s got experience at home, they definitely do. They’ve got Kohli coming back….England has not taken their best team for the first two Test matches. I think Johnny Bairstow has to be there and I don’t think he’s going to be there. India are definitely favourites. 100% they’re the favourites, because England haven’t taken their best team or they’re certainly not starting with their best team."
