Pitch and Weather Report Of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad

The pitch of Hyderabad has always been known to be a batting paradise and it has always been a high scoring ground in white-ball cricket. Similar is the case in the red ball cricket as the flat conditions will be favourible for the side batting first and both the teams will be looking to win the toss and choosing to bat first and take advantage of the lovely bvatting conditions un ttilhe pitch starts breaking around Day 4.

The weather will not be much of a concern for either sides as it is not expected to rain at all and weather will be sunny the entire 5 days. The last Test match at the venue was back in 2018 when India took onn West Indies. It was a cakewalk for India as they defeated West Indies by 10 wickets. 

India will be much more confident of bowling England out as Harry Brook has pulled out of the series and England's batting will be potentially majorly impacted by the Delhi Capitals' player departure.

The first Test will start from January 25.
