Both the batsmen are currently present at the crease and have made a partnership of more than 100 runs. Rohit Sharma looked in full form in the Rajkot Test after failing to make a mark in the first two Test matches. He not only stopped the fall of the wicket but also put India in a strong position. Batting intelligently, he scored the 11th century of his Test career. After scoring a century, the entire dugout stood up and congratulated him. He stood firm and took responsibility when his team needed him most. However, he did not celebrate openly and just raised his bat and greeted everyone. He knows that right now The work is not completed. There itself Ravindra Jadeja fully supported the captain and scored the 21st half-century of his Test career. Jadeja looks in good touch and is hoping that he can convert this innings into a big innings. Mark Wood gave two back-to-back blows For England, Mark Wood gave initial shocks to Team India by taking two wickets in two consecutive overs.

He took the wicket of Rajat Patidar (5), who came to bat at number four. It’s almost as if when Rohit went out to bat someone pointed at the Eng team and said “Sir ye 11 log garden mein ghum rahe hai” 😉 #IYKYK #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/zyKShg749r — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) February 15, 2024 The way he’s batting it feels like he’s been batting here for ages.

(Photo Source: Instagram) IND vs ENG 3rd Test: A five-match Test series is currently being played between India and England. Two test matches of the series have been played so far, in which both the teams have won one win each. So now the third match of the series will be played from Thursday, February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. However, before the start of this match, some photos of Rajkot’s pitch had gone viral on social media, seeing which former England player Michael Atherton has said that England has taken an excellent decision by adding an additional fast bowler to the team. On the other hand, now former Indian fast bowler and World Cup 2011 champion player Zaheer Khan has given a big statement on the Rajkot pitch. Zaheer says that you will see some reverse swing from the pitch. Zaheer Khan gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot, Zaheer Khan said on Jio Cinema – I hope that the pitch of Rajkot will be like that of Hyderabad and Vizag. You will also see reverse swing on the fourth and fifth days of the game. Spinners will dominate the game. If similar behavior is seen from the pitch, then spectators and fans will be seen enjoying the match. Apart from this, Zaheer said about India’s playing eleven in the third test match – once you choose the team, it becomes a headache for you. Be it Akshar Patel or Kuldeep Yadav, you will include all of them in the team. From this statement given by Zaheer Khan, you can guess that fast bowlers may see reverse swing from the pitch. Perhaps this is the reason why England has included Mark Wood and James Anderson in their team for the third Test match.

The star all-rounder of the Indian cricket team said that the hosts will keep things simple and rely on their abilities to dominate the Rajkot Test against the Ben Stokes-led England cricket team. Keeping things simple will be important: Ravindra Jadeja According to The Indian Express, Ravindra Jadeja said at the press conference in Rajkot: “When the England batsmen are playing aggressive shots, you can start thinking ‘Oh, where should I bowl now. Bowlers start thinking about the next step, but for me it is important to keep things simple and bowl as per the plan.” Jadeja further said, “England has an aggressive style. It was not easy for earlier teams to play aggressive cricket in India, but England has changed this perception. They sometimes wreak havoc, sometimes fail, but that’s their way of playing.” We have to keep Plan B ready: Ravindra Jadeja The Indian all-rounder also said that India as a team will have to have Plan B ready. Jadeja said, “If the first plan does not give results then we will have to come up with Plan B.” Let us tell you, the India vs England Test series is currently tied at 1-1. Talking about the Rajkot pitch, Ravindra Jadeja said: “The track looks hard at the moment. I think it will be good for the batsmen in the beginning and then maybe it will gradually break down later on. Sometimes you get 36 wickets in 3 matches. Sometimes this doesn’t happen. It looks harsh to me right now, but hopefully it will be a good wicket.”

IND vs ENG: First glimpse of Rajkot pitch revealed, English batsman’s head will spin after seeing the track
Like always, this time too all eyes are on the pitch. Rank turner pitch has not been seen in even a single match in this series so far. Till now, the teams have had to face such pitches in which there has been a fair competition between bat and ball. Now, the third test match will be played in Rajkot and everyone has only one question in their mind that how will the pitch of Rajkot be for this match? In the initial glimpse of the pitch, it seemed that there was grass on the surface, which could prove helpful for the fast bowlers. However, the grass was cut just a day before the match indicating that it could be a flat track where the batsmen would dominate. This means that this is potentially going to be a high-scoring encounter, where batsmen from both teams can score a lot of runs. With key players like KL Rahul sidelined due to injury and uncertainties over the fitness of Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian think tank is facing many problems regarding the team combination. The biggest headache for the team management will be that who should be selected in the team between Sarfaraz Khan or Devdutt Padikkal. Talking about Sarfaraz Khan, his record in domestic cricket is excellent, because of that he cannot be ignored. There itself Padikkal cannot be ignored considering his recent form, which is a difficult decision for the selectors.
IND vs ENG: Sarfaraz Khan should get a chance before Padikkal in the third test – Aakash Chopra
KL Rahul was out of the third test match due to injury. Sarfaraz Khan and Aakash Chopra. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that India should play Sarfaraz Khan before Devdutt Padikkal in the third Test against England. The important third match of the five-match series will be played in Rajkot from Thursday, February 15. Shreyas Iyer was dropped from the team for the remaining matches and KL Rahul was also ruled out of the third Test due to injury. In such a situation, the debut of either Sarfaraz or Padikkal is expected. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra admitted that Padikkal has been in great form recently. However, he argued that Sarfaraz should be given priority before the Karnataka batsman (Devdutt Padikkal). Sarfaraz Khan should get a chance in the third test match- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra Said that, “Either Sarfaraz or Devdutt Padikkal will make his debut. The simple answer to the question is that it should be Sarfaraz because he has been scoring runs for a long time. It is not that Devdutt Padikkal has not been scoring runs for a long time.” The former opener further said, “If you look at this season separately, there is no one in better form than Devdutt Padikkal. This is the right time to give a chance to someone, but Sarfaraz had come into the team before him, just like Rajat Patidar had come before him. You gave a chance to Patidar first. So it is your duty to play Sarfaraz in this match.” Sarfaraz has scored 3912 runs in 45 first class matches at an excellent average of 69.85. Padikkal’s performance has not been that good, he has scored 2227 runs in 31 first class matches this year at an average of 44.54, including four centuries.
