India vs England 3rd Test preview
After India's convincing victory against England in the 2nd Test by 317 runs, the four-match Test series is evenly poised. The victory helps India climb to second spot in the ICC World Test Championship standings. The attention now moves towards India vs England 3rd Test, which is all set to take place in the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Despite the hosts clinching a convincing victory in the 2nd Test in Chennai, Virat Kohli may find himself losing his captaincy due to an argument with the umpire. After Menon adjudged England captain Joe Root not out, Kohli took the DRS, which favoured Root because of the umpire's call. Kohli was furious by the decision and expressed his dissatisfaction to Menon. Consequently, he could find himself in trouble with match referee Javagal Srinath and face a one-match ban in the fourth Test on another violation of such kind.
