IND vs ENG: Ahead of the fourth Test starting February 23 in Ranchi, the pitch has blown England captain Ben Stokes’ senses away. England captain Ben Stokes says he cannot understand how the Ranchi pitch will behave. Ben Stokes said in an interview with BBC that he had never seen a pitch like Ranchi before. However, England announced the playing eleven a day before the game. England have made two changes to the playing eleven for the fourth Test.
In an interview with the BBC, Ben Stokes said: “I have never seen a pitch like the one in Ranchi.” We are unable to understand this pitch. From a distance it looks like there is a lot of grass on this pitch. If you look closely at this playing field, you can see cracks in it. This pitch can prove difficult for both batsmen and bowlers.
Let us tell you that the biggest problem for England in this series was the inability of the two middle-order batsmen Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow to score runs. However, despite the poor flop, England backed Root and Bairstow. England made a big change and dropped Rehan. Shoaib returned to the team for the fourth Test. Additionally, Ollie Robinson will get the chance to star in this series instead of Mark Wood for the first time.
In this series, England got off to a strong start with a win over India. But India won the second Test and leveled the series 1-1. In the third Test, when the English team was chasing the target of 557 runs, they ended up with just 122 runs. India won in Rajkot by a record 434 runs. Now Team India is 2-1 in the series.
