Even though the match is purely of academic interest, world No 1 India would look to record a win in the last of their engagements prior to a tricky home Test series against Australia starting February 23.
A win at Dharamsala, resulting in a 4-1 demolition of the Englishmen, would be the ideal tonic to boost up the morale of a team that has endured nothing less than agony – physical and mental – in the 20 months following their 2011 World Cup triumph.
A win would prep them up well and good to welcome Michael Clarke’s team in less than a month’s time.
