Steven Finn, who was part of the 2012 winning squad in a series victory in India, emphasizes the importance of winning over the crowds. England’s plan and execution from head coach Andy Flower and newly appointed skipper Alastair Cook led to a remarkable triumph, but since then, India has won all 16 home series. Despite England’s current squad lacking world-class spin options, Finn believes the team’s attacking approach can work in their favor. He also believes that the IPL superstardom of some players in the touring party will count to England’s benefit. Finn is hopeful that England could replicate their 2012 performance to turn the public on the Indian cricket team. Finn also believes that James Anderson’s experience will be vital to England’s hopes in India. He talked about the significance of England’s first-innings and stressed the importance of measured aggression in this upcoming series. Finn emphasized that knowing how India’s public responds to their team’s performance can work in favor of the visiting team. Finally, Finn also spoke on the partnership renewal between IG and the ECB.
