On the other hand, the bowlers will have to fulfill their responsibilities very well so that Team India doesn’t miss R Ashwin, who misses out in the middle of this game. We tell you that Team India players have a black stripe in this game.

Why did the players wear black armbands?

Indian players wore black armbands in memory of India’s oldest Test cricketer Dattajirao Gaekwad, who died on Tuesday, February 13, in Baroda, Gujarat. Captain and oldest Test cricketer of India who passed away recently. BCCI shared this information with fans through a statement on X. Dutta Gaikwad, who made his debut for India in 1952, breathed his last at the age of 95 and the Indian cricket fraternity paid tribute to the legend. India will hope to pay a fitting tribute to the late cricketer with an outstanding performance on the third day.

How has the game been so far?

Talking about the current match, India scored 445 runs in their first innings and England had a strong start to the innings by batting brilliantly which left the Indian fans in suspense. However, the return on day three has put the hosts in a good position and they will have to deal with the absence of R Ashwin for the rest of the game, not just with the ball but also with the bat. R Ashwin was actually with Team India for the first two matchdays, but had to leave the team after the end of the second matchday due to personal reasons. In such a situation, Team India’s bowling is already looking weak.
