India vs England 4th Test: Achievements and records that can be set in Ranchi

After securing a 2-1 lead against England, the Indian cricket team will now be aiming to seal the Test series in the next fixture, scheduled to start from Friday, February 23 in Ranchi. The English side kicked off the five-match Test series on a promising note having claimed a victory in the opening fixture. The hosts were quick to bounce back as they scripted back-to-back wins.

In the third Test, played in Rajkot, Team India earned a resounding 434-run victory to claim a 2-1 lead in the series. “We have won a lot of matches on such wickets before. The turning tracks and on pitches where the ball turns remain our strength. It gives us balance,” Rohit Sharma told the media following his side’s win against England.

Ben Stokes, the England skipper, said that he is thinking about winning the Test series against India. “I spoke before I came out here and said weeks like this are hard. Losing games for England isn’t where you want to be but games personally, I think (are) won or lost in the head,” Stokes told the media during the post-match press conference.
