At the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on February 23, India (IND) will take on England (ENG) in the fourth Test of England’s tour of India. The Indian squad, who are right now leading the series, won the most recent game by a widest margin in their history as Test cricket players. They currently have a 2-1 lead in the series and will be trying to win this game to wrap it up.
In the third game of the series, these teams faced off, with India winning the toss and choosing to bat. India was struggling at 33 for three, but their remarkable partnership between captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja kept them afloat as they combined for 445 runs. The only batsman with a true attacking mindset was Ben Duckett, who scorched to 153, setting up England to reach 319 thanks to some outstanding bowling from the Indian bowlers, particularly Mohammed Siraj.
Yashasvi Jaiswal took to the bat once more and quickly reached another double century, dominating the proceedings. Shubhman Gill, who was unfortunate to be run out before reaching his century, and Sarafaraz, who set a new record by reaching fifties in both innings on his debut, were a big help to him as India posted an unachievable target of 557. Although England’s failure to reach the amount was predicted, their manner of folding was not. India won by 434 runs, their largest-ever Test victory, and they put up almost no resistance at all, losing in hardly more than a single session.

Pitch Report: It is anticipated that bowlers will benefit more from the track at the JSCA International Stadium Complex. When the game goes on, spinners in particular would take center stage. Since scoring became harder later in the game, batters would try to make as much as they could in the initial innings. With an average first innings score of 261 here, teams who win the toss prefer to bat first.
