The Test series heats up with India levelling the series. Both sides are punching well and the second test had some nice displays of fast bowling. Selection headaches could come in for India though. They dropped Shreyas Iyer and will not have KL Rahul as well for the upcoming Test. Ravindra Jadeja too remains uncertain and considering he does play, India will have to choose between Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.
Date: February 15, 2024
Time: 9:30 PM IST
Venue: Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot
Dry conditions are expected through the Test.
Rajkot generally is good for batting with some high-scoring first innings scores made at the ground. Batting first though remains the better option with wear and tear likely to make it tougher to bat on as the Test progresses.

Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has been pushing the Indian bowling attack in the first two Tests. He put up a masterclass in Vizag and is doing really well after coming back from a long injury lay-off. With Ashwin not performing up to his usual standards, Bumrah has ensured that he too can make an impact at home.
James Anderson
James Anderson has been putting up a masterclass of his own. At 41, Anderson refuses to slow down and continues to find ways to get the ball to do tricks. He knows how to use reverse swing really well and is proving that his experience can do wonders in India.
England are down their lead spinner. India’s dominance at home further keeps them favorites with England needing to pull of something special to win a second Test in this series.
