England's tour of India 2025 will get underway this week with the start of the T20I series. The first match of the five-T20I series will be taking place on Wednesday (January 22) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
England and India last played a T20I against each other last year when they played the T20 World Cup semifinal. India completely outplayed England in that game, winning it by 68 runs on their way to winning the World Cup.
After that dismal run in the World Cup, England drew the home T20I series against Australia before winning the series in West Indies. The Jos Buttler-led side will now be looking to win the upcoming series as well as they eye their first T20I series win over India since 2014.
India, on the other hand, have looked almost unbeatable in T20Is in recent months. They have not lost a T20I series since Suryakumar Yadav took charge of the team after the World Cup triumph. In their last T20I assignment, India beat South Africa in their backyard. With both the teams now set to take on each other in the first T20I, here is their head-to-head record in T20Is.
