For queries: [email protected] Match: IND vs ENG, 3rd Test, England tour of India, 2021 Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 - Sunday, February 28, 2021 Time: 2:30 PM Venue: Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad PREVIEW: International cricket comes to Motera exactly a year after it was inaugurated by 'Namaste Trump', an event that witnessed the then US President address a crowd of over 1 lakh supporters in shiny, white baseball caps. Only half of them will be allowed inside this time around and they will likely be without their complementary caps, but there will be no subsidies on the noise. Kohli thought it made a difference in the second Test in Chennai. Mark Wood wasn't even a part of it, but he was informed by the "lads that a few thousand in Chennai were enough." With a place in the World Test Championship at stake, wouldn't India like that one more time. This brings us to the pink ball. When England travelled to Ahmedabad last time around, the uncertainty was around whether they would be able to compete. They played three warm-up games on that tour in 2012 and the best they faced in terms of spin was Yuvraj Singh on a very flat deck. This time, there have been no practice games, not least for this day-night Test, but that England can't compete isn't even on the table. The visitors are level in the series and their fast bowlers are "licking their lips" according to Ben Stokes after seeing all the swing and movement on offer in the practice sessions. Will the Test match see the same? No one knows, and it only adds intrigue to what's already a famous Test match.
