India will take on England in the second Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai again on 13th February, Saturday. The host would be looking to bounce back from that embarrassing defeat in 1st Test match where the English Team completely overpowered the Virat Kohli-led team.
India was confident ahead of the 1st Test match against Joe Root and Co. because of their successful tour in Australia but with the defeat by 227 runs, the host this time will surely have some doubts and questions to answer.
England is 1-0 up in the four-match test series.
