Sunil Gavaskar gives his verdict on India tour of England: Promises to be the golden summer of Indian cricket

India legend Sunil Gavaskar expects England to dish out green tracks for Virat Kohli's men in the upcoming five-match Test series in summer.

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar believes that the upcoming tour of England promises to be the golden summer for Virat Kohli-led Indian cricket team. The touring Indian party will be in the UK from June to September 14 during which they will spend more than 40 days between the WTC final and the first Test of the 5-match series. Ahead of the Test series against England starting August 4, India will take on New Zealand in the inaugural World Test Championship final from 18th June in Southampton. Though Gavaskar didn't predict the scoreline of the five-match series, he feels that it will be an Indian summer in England. "The summer in England promises to be the golden summer of Indian cricket. After the WTC finals, there is a gap of about six weeks before the Test series starts against England and that should be enough for the team to play some practice games and tune-up for what England can hurl at them. It is foolish to try and predict the score but it looks like it will be an Indian summer in England," Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his column for The Telegraph.
