The upcoming match in Rajkot marks the third encounter in the India vs. England Test series, with Team India aiming for a 2-1 lead after their impressive comeback victory in Visakhapatnam. Despite England’s triumph in the opening test in Hyderabad, India’s resurgence has set the stage for an exciting battle ahead.
the upcoming match between India and England could see some changes in the playing elevens for both teams. For India, there’s speculation that wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel and middle-order batsman Sarfaraz Khan might debut. Meanwhile, England might need to adjust their lineup due to the absence of lead spinner Jack Leach, who was ruled out of the series due to a knee injury. This could lead to a reshuffling of their bowling options.

Pitch Report
The pitches at the SCA Stadium have shown a trend favoring batting in the initial days, with spinners gaining significant assistance later on, a pattern consistent with other pitches across the country. Additionally, fast bowlers could also find some support initially. There’s a strong likelihood that the pitch at the Saurashtra Cricket Stadium will be slow, possibly evolving into a rank turner as the match progresses.
