Rohit Sharma and company are up against another tussle with England as both teams are set to face each other in Ranchi.
England have won the toss and elected to bat first in the fourth test; however, the decision to bat first for the visitors backfired as the England team lost their five wickets in the very first session of the match.
For team India, it was Aakashdeep who had a sensational debut in test match cricket as he picked up three wickets in the opening session of the fourth test. However, this test also became pretty special for India’s ace spinner Ravi Ashwin, as he made a phenomenal century against England.
Ashwin dismissed Johnny Bairstow to pick up his first breakthrough in the fourth test match and became the first Indian to pick up 100 test wickets against England, surpassing Bhagwath Chandrashekhar. Who picked up 95 wickets against England in the red ball format
