England had lost the Test series 1-3 to India on spin-friendly tracks during their 2021 tour of the country. “India can produce different pitches: it doesn’t have to turn. We’ve seen how potent their seam attack has been recently,” Bairstow told Sky Sports.

“Look, I’m sure the pitches will turn: it’s whether or not they’ll turn from Day One, which potentially negates a bit of their strength in their seam attack. We know how strong they are,” he added.
Bairstow, 34, added: “Obviously, the last time Patel and Ashwin played well. You forget that in that first Test match, the guys played really well, Rooty [Joe Root] got a double in the first Test match in Chennai and then conditions changed quite drastically.”
