The third match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played at the Rajkot ground from February 15. While England won the first game of this series, Team India made a spectacular comeback in the second game and leveled the series 1-1. Now the third game of the series is considered very important for both teams. Just a day before the start of this match, the name of Saurashtra Cricket Stadium underwent a major change and is now called Niranjan Shah Stadium.

The first international match was played on this pitch in 2013.

In recent years, many stadiums in India have had their names changed, which now includes the Saurashtra Cricket Stadium. The first international match was played on this pitch in 2013. Since then, a total of 11 games have been played here in all formats. Niranjan Shah, who was also the former secretary of BCCI, also played a very important role in the construction of this stadium. Niranjan Shah played twelve first-class matches for Saurashtra between 1960 and 1970. Only two Test matches have been played at this ground so far, with the match between India and England ending in a draw, while India comfortably defeated the West Indies in the second match.

Batsmen dominate at Rajkot Stadium

If we talk about this stadium, dominance of batsmen has been witnessed here so far with fours and sixes being hit with great ease due to the narrow boundary. Something similar can be observed in test matches, although there is a lot of help for the spinners on the pitch in the last two match days.
