In a highly anticipated cricket series, experts are weighing in on the prospects of a youthful Indian team as they face England on English soil. Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden and South African pace great Dale Steyn have differing views on the outcome.

Hayden believes India's chances increase if they capitalize on games in Leeds and Manchester, citing England's weakened bowling lineup due to retirements and injuries. In contrast, Steyn predicts England will secure the series 3-2, bolstered by home advantage and experience.

Despite the challenges, India's new captain Shubman Gill leads a young squad amidst retirements of stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. As the series kicks off, the cricketing world anticipates a fiercely contended duel for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
