"motera"

The Indian team management, currently in Delhi for the match against Afghanistan continues monitoring Gill's health.

The newly-built Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera was open to 50 per cent crowd capacity for the first two T20 Internationals on Friday and Sunday

Rohit, the regular opener in the white-ball cricket, has been rested a day after captain Virat Kohli said that Rohit and KL Rahul would open the innings. However, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag hit out at the captain for resting in-form Rohit.

Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) has decided to use only 50 per cent capacity of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the five T20 Internationals to be played here between India and England from March 12

India won the day-night third Test by 10 wickets inside two days to take a 2-1 lead in the four-match series.

However, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, who came in support of the pitch, said he had enough of the criticism. Yes, the surface at Ahmedabad ensured that the ball was always likely to dominate in the third Test.

India, who are now on the verge of qualifying to the World Test Championship if they manage to hold to the 2-1 lead and can draw or win the final Test, ran through the England batting with the help of Axar Patel’s 11-wicket match

Spread over 63 acres, the stadium has been built at an estimated cost of Rs 800 crore and with a seating capacity for 1,32,000 spectators.

Pink ball does tend to swing a lot more than the red ball. We experienced that when we played for the first time in 2019 (against Bangladesh), said India skipper in pre-match press conference

The squad otherwise remains unchanged from the one that played in the first two Tests at the M.A.Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
