London: Former captain Geoffrey Boycott does not foresee world number one India bouncing back in the ongoing Test series against England and believes the hosts are well on their way to clinch the top spot in ICC Rankings.
“The hosts are all fired up. Confidence is high, they believe they can beat India and they are hungry to be No.1 in the world. I can’t see India stopping them and it would be an amazing turnaround if they beat England,” Boycott said.
“The England team are in a very healthy situation. They should polish India off in the second Test and press home the advantage they gained at Lord’s, which marked the beginning of the end for India as the world’s No.1 Test team,” he wrote in the ‘Daily Telegraph’.
Boycott feels the Indian bowling attack, which was ripped apart by the English in the Lord’s Test, lacks the zing to worry England. (PTI)
