Princess Tarfa

After the hot debate of the two-day test was over, England and India are going to return into the battlefield on Thursday for securing the position in World Test Championship Final. The very first test was took place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the largest cricket stadium in the world where the England was whitewashed within 2 days. After the result, India leads in2-1 among 4-test series to rule out England from the World Championship. This promptly rises the accusation of the pitch is excessively spin-friendly and is not up to the mark. 

In this match, England skipper Joe Root, exhibited his extraordinary part-time off-spin skill with 5 wickets in haul for 8 runs for day-night tournament which lasted within only 842 balls- the shortest Test after 1935.

Later, ICC has been questioned by many former England cricketers accusing of providing low-quality pitch by the powerful and wealthy BCCI.  However, the Great West Indies Viv Richards continue to shower support to the pitch and said stop groaning and moaning to England and get adapted to this tough condition.

Jeetan Patel, bowling coach revealed England team was quiet at the time of this controversy and they look forward to repel the spinning attack of India. He said to the reporters that this test is going to be the spinning wicket. They have to look for a way and expect to win the toss at least to put a decent score on the board.

Pitch is the new bizarre for the media than the England dressing room said by spinner Jack Leach. Being the owner of 16 consecutive wickets for the first 3 test matches, he expected there is much more for them to play for! This win will make the series end with a tie and definitely it will be the greatest effort in India which will motivate them in future, he continues to add. Leach said, “We are continuing to try to be better and fully prepared for the next match in the dressing room”.  

Kohli’s India just deem a draw or win for clashing against the Kiwis in the inaugural World Test Championship final whereas England’s win will put them in front of kangaroos for the decider in June at Lord’s. About 55,000 spectators will be allowed in the stadium which has been just renamed after present Prime Minister of India, half of total capacity although.

The premier spinner of India, Ravichandran Ashwin put back the pitch criticism by saying that commentators don’t have the right to decide what’s bad or good wicket. He eventually adds, “What makes the surface good?” on surpassing the 400 Test wickets after the match of last week. He continues adding “who is going to determine this, seam on initial day, well batting and spinning on the concluding days, who makes these rubbish rules?” 

Root, who scored 145 in the first innings with India, agreed that England come up with selection mistakes even after their successive loss for the second time. Fellow spinner Leach will be accompanied by Dom Bess by replacing any one of two fast bowlers. India has to make a change as Jasprit Bumrah, who delivered just 6 overs in the last match has been ruled out of the Final Test for personal reasons.
