India and England have an illustrious history of duking it out in this format – meeting 252 times since 1983 while also participating in major World Cup tournaments, with India emerging victorious more often.
The 2024 ODI series will be an important one for both teams involved; India will look to maintain their momentum while England hope to make an impressionful comeback after an inauspicious start to their season. No side can afford to lose this series, and Lucknow could prove crucial as an indicator for either.

Test Series
India and England Test Series is one of the most anticipated events in world cricket. Their rivalry dates back to the era of Gentleman’s Game and has provided us with some remarkable moments throughout its history – some remarkable comebacks and some truly unforgettable innings are only some examples.
Both India and England have played over one hundred test matches against each other, splitting evenly in terms of wins. India holds the upper hand when it comes to 50-over internationals: they have won 11 more one-day internationals (ODIs) than England as well as holding an improved T20I record; India even won their ODI series against England by defeating them 5-0 this time around!
Additionally, the five-match test series will take place on Indian soil – marking its inaugural ICC test series since 2021-22 – making this an essential challenge for England. Although their home test series this season have been disappointing, Ben Stokes should help spark England back to life when it comes to attacking play during this test series.
India defeated England by an innings and 64 runs to complete their 5-0 series victory, propelling Virat Kohli-led side back to top spot of ICC Test Team Rankings ahead of Australia.
India was led by Kuldeep Yadav (5/72) and Ravichandran Ashwin (4/51) as they took five wickets each while Rohit Sharma (103 in 162 balls, with 13 fours and three sixes) and Yashashwi Jaiswal (57 in 58 balls, five fours and two sixes) played key roles as India batters to put England’s bowlers under immense pressure.
India will remain on top of the ICC Test rankings regardless of the outcome of New Zealand and Australia’s second Test match at Christchurch, while Jos Buttler’s England are on the brink of bottoming-out and must improve quickly or risk being removed from such competition.
T20I Series
On Tuesday at Eden Park, the fifth match in this series will take place and offers India a golden opportunity to seize control of this series and gain an upper hand in it. New Zealand are being hindered by key players like Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Adam Zampa returning home; moreover they are lacking some regular bowlers which should make this contest all the more intriguing.
India may still not know whether they’ll win or not yet, but momentum is certainly on their side. Their last two games in New Zealand produced high-scoring thrillers with thrilling finishes; making this a great series to watch. Plus, fans in both countries get to witness their favourite teams battle each other once again!
Rishabh Pant is making this T20I series particularly significant for himself and the team. After being sent home for “rest” following the Test series, it seemed that MS Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik would become frontline batsmen again; but following his impressive performances in recent games he has the chance to demonstrate that he deserves back his place on the ODI squad.
Khaleel Ahmed and Siddarth Kaul will have ample opportunity to show their talent during this T20I series, given they have already played in one-day internationals but yet failed to secure places in their sides. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami already occupying fast bowler spots that these youngsters could fill by being given more game time in this T20I tournament.
Although many fans will likely be dismayed by the outcome of the final, India and Australia’s series should still provide an entertaining spectacle. India cricket fans in particular will likely take pleasure in seeing their team triumphantly defeat arch-rival Australia; and these games should draw large crowds to stadiums throughout India and Australia’s territory.
