First test match between host India and England will be played between Thursday, 15th November to Monday, 19th November, 2012 at Sardar Patel Stadium, Motera, Ahmedabad, starting from 04:00 GMT, 09:30 IST.
India lost their all the test matches when they toured England last year and now they are looking for revenge. Sehwag hit a century in Ranji game few days back and they need give start from him as all eyes will be on Tendulkar how he will play. Kohli, Pujara and Yuvraj's form will be crucial in the middle. India probably go with the 2 spinners and it will be a choice between Ojha and Bhajji.
England has few good warm up games but they have not tested a strong spin attack and it will be a tough test for their batmen specially Cook, Trott and Compton all hit centuries. Pietersen will be key as he is a good player of spin. Swann and Panesar has to bowled well against strong Indian batting line up.
Indian Playing 11 for 1st Test at Ahmedabad:
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha/Harbhajan Singh
