In his column for Sky Sports, Hussain commended England's unwavering determination and praised their steadfast approach, emphasizing their ability to back cricketers even in challenging situations.

While lauding India as favorites with a formidable side, Hussain urged them to learn from the wake-up call provided by England's success in the first Test. Despite India's potential to bounce back, Hussain emphasized that England's resilience and strategic approach make them a formidable force in the series.
