IND vs ENG: Brendon McCullum Looks Forward To Fight Fire With Fire, Drops Big Remark On Hosting Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir's India In England

India vs England: After the culmination of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final, the focus of the cricketing fraternity will shift towards the IND vs ENG series. Two high-profile teams, having a crack at each other across five Test matches, is something that looks like a mouth-watering prospect. India kickstart their WTC 2027 campaign with the five-match series against Ben Stokes' England. Shubman Gill will lead India in the new era of Test cricket, and a lot is riding on his back.

Gill, along with Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, will have to decimate England in England, and that is a herculean task. The Indian team is largely devoid of experience, and the young Indian players have to step up if they want to start the new cycle of the World Test Championship on a winning note.
