England cross the border from Bangladesh into India knowing the upcoming tour may prove to be their most demanding yet. It is Englands first five Test series in India since 1984-85, and all five will be played in just six weeks, starting with Wednesdays first Test from Rajkot, live on Sky Sports 2 from 3.30am. India vs England November 9, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass After their embarrassing collapse in Dhaka, the tourists under-pressure batsmen will be expecting another trial by spin against an Indian side that tops the ICC team rankings. Indias recent home record is also ominous for Alastair Cooks side. They havent lost a Test on home soil since Englands famous series win in 2012-13. In that time theyve won 12 out of 13, the other drawn, winning four series, including the recent whitewash of New Zealand.So who should England be watching out for?Ajinkya Rahane Ajinkya Rahane is Indias highest placed Test batsmen in the ICC rankings Youd be forgiven for thinking skipper Virat Kohli would be the highest-rated Indian batsman in the side, but its Ajinkya Rahane who sits at six in the current ICC Test rankings.The fact that Rahane is Indias No 5 shows the serious depth of talent in their batting line-up. A top-order batsman who lurks in the hosts middle-order, he averages 51 in Tests, plundering eight centuries and nine fifties. Only Joe Root will start the series with a higher average than the right-hander, who is also his sides vice-captain.Rahane is also an excellent slip fielder off both seam and spin bowling. He holds the record for the most catches by a fielder in a match, grasping eight against Sri Lanka at Galle in 2015. If Englands struggles against spin continue, Rahane could have a huge impact in the field as well as with the bat.Wriddhiman Saha Wriddhiman Saha scored a first Test ton against the West Indies earlier this year It cant be an easy task replacing one of your countrys greatest players, but the way Wriddhiman Saha has quietly filled the shoes vacated by MS Dhonis Test retirement has been very impressive.Saha made his debut way back in 2010 as a specialist batsman against South Africa but only managed two more appearances before Dhonis departure during Indias series defeat in Australia in 2014-15.Since then the 32-year-old has appeared in 15 Tests, scoring his maiden century and four fifties at an average of 35.75. Perhaps due to his extended run in the side, this year has undoubtedly been the right-handers best yet, striking 317 runs with the bat to average over 63 from his seven innings.Primarily in the side as a wicket-keeper, Saha is a natural gloveman behind the stumps. His lightning-fast hands have accounted for seven stumping dismissals along with 25 catches.Ravichandran Ashwin Ravi Ashwin is considered the key threat to Englands hopes of a series win Who else? You didnt think we had forgotten him, did you? All eyes will be on Ravichandran Ashwin as he steps up to bowl against an England side whose scars from their demise in Dhaka will still be raw.The off-spinner is currently ranked the best bowler in the world, and claimed career best innings and match figures - 7-59 and 13-140 - in Indias latest Test victory over New Zealand. In the same series he became the second-fastest bowler to take 200 wickets, with only the late Australian Clarrie Grimmett outpacing him.The 30-year-old has the best average of any bowler to have taken over 100 wickets in India, and he seems to be thriving under the captaincy of Kohli. In 16 games under his charge, Ashwin has taken 106 wickets at an unbelievable 18.31 average.Ashwin has also turned himself into a genuine all-rounder. In smashing two centuries earlier this year against the West Indies he took his career tally to four, at a solid-looking average of 33.55.

The last few weeks have been hectic between my participation at Roland Garros and my debut this Tuesday at Wimbledon. It was a heartbreaking match against Sorana Cirstea at the French Open about two weeks ago. Its been awhile since I found myself in a situation like that. I lost the match by a hair after being at match point. Against the 26th-seed in the tournament, a player who hits very hard, its already promised to be difficult. I played a very good game until I dropped the second set and it has been a little hard to get over it eventually. I rather started playing a little too defensively and it let her take the lead and I dropped points. I made too many mistakes in the third set and its been difficult for me after the meeting. But its time to turn the page quickly to tackle the season on grass. I trained with artificial turf on the site of Roland Garros and made the adjustments necessary to make the transition from clay to grass, which is not easy because its a completely different game. Balls move faster, points come quicker with up to three exchanges, and it is rare that there are more than that. It was necessary to modify some aspects of my game accordingly. To put these adjustments into practice, I flew to Birmingham where I had an excellent tournament. I played five big matches, including two in qualifying. My progress was stopped, however, in the third round by former Wimbledon semi-finalist, Kirsten Flipkens. I won the first set 6-1 and was leading the second 3-1, but Flipkens came back strong and served well. She played better in the third set than I did. While she was aggressive, I struggled with my games and was fighting shots. Flipkens is especially difficult to play on grass because of the way she can slice and her net play, so its no surprise that she went as far as she did at Wimbledon in 2013. Still, it was a good tournnament for me and there was a lot to be gained from it.dddddddddddd. Little by little, Im improving in the rankings. Im up to 118th in the world, which is an improvement of 17 places since the last rankings. My coach, Nathalie Tauziat, also said she likes the progress in my game that shes noticed since the beginning of this European swing at the Cagnes-sur-Mer tournament in France. Were continuing to move forward and this is encouraging. It just takes one good tournament run to accumulate points and keep propelling forward. Tomorrow (June 17), I have another opportunity to build on this momentum when I begin qualifying for the main draw at Wimbledon. I will face Renata Voracova, not a very well-known player, who is ranked 172nd in the world. Shes a regular doubles player on top of singles and loves to play at the net. Voracova loves to play on grass and Im going to have to dictate the pace from the start. Because the ball doesnt bounce as well on grass, Im going to have to keep low, legs bent, in anticipation of its movement. Qualification continues on Wednesday and Thursday. A woman amongst the men A little bit of a digression here on the recent news of Andy Murray hiring Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach. Its rare to see a woman in this position, especially in the ATP, because often, after their careers, female players spend time with their families. I think Murray picked Mauresmo with good reason. Shes a former Grand Slam champion (the Australian Open and Wimbledon) with lots of experience. He sees what she can provide, but this is a bit of a different approach. In my case, it was last year when I began training with a female coach after years of training with men. We get along well because Nathalie understands the emotions of a player. Their new partnership is a trial for the grass court season. Its difficult to find the right mix between the player and coach and theres always a period of adjustment. Chemistry wont be built in an instant. Murray will assess all of this after Wimbledon to see if the potential for a longer-term partnership is there. ' ' '
