Why it matters

"We of course expect to win. Our team has been playing very good cricket," the India skipper, who guided India to a historic Test win against England at the iconic Lord's recently, told Sony Sports .
"The last 4-5 years have been good, and where we have played good cricket, dominating cricket, have defeated big teams and won series also.”
