"India should win the series 4-1. England are not batting well against our bowlers. As it is, it's difficult for teams to win here," said Ganguly, who led India to a 1-0 series win at home in 2001-02 and drew the series 1-1 in the English summer of 2002.

After losing the first Test of the ongoing series in Hyderabad, Rohit Sharma beat Ben Stokes's team in the Visakhapatnam, Rajkot and Ranchi Tests.
England's spin attack has been promising. "I don't want to be critical about their spin bowlers. Almost all of them made their debut on this tour. We have to keep that in mind. But batting standards have gone down drastically in world cricket. India, Australia and New Zealand have got batting depth while other teams will have to improve," said Ganguly.
