England'S The India tour 2025 will begin this week with the start of the T20I series. The first match of the five-match T20I series will take place on Wednesday (January 22) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
England and India last played a T20I against each other last year when they played the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. India completely outclassed England in that game, winning it by 68 runs on their way to winning the World Cup.
After that dismal World Cup run, England drew the T20I series at home against Australia before winning the series in the West Indies. The Jos Buttler-led side will now look to win the upcoming series as well as their first T20I series win against India since 2014.
India, on the other hand, have looked almost unbeatable in T20Is in recent months. They have not lost a T20I series since Suryakumar Yadav took charge of the team after the World Cup triumph. In their last T20I assignment, India defeated South Africa in their backyard. With both teams now set to face each other in the first T20I, here is their head-to-head record in T20Is.
