Wasim Jaffer royally trolls England, fans divided over mind games ahead of Day-Night Test

India and England are all set to clash in the third Test of the four-match series on Wednesday, February 24. Ahead of the much-anticipated at the Ahmedabad new stadium, England captain Joe Root has started playing mind games as he reminded India of their debacle in their last pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide where they were bowled out for a paltry 36.

Wasim Jaffer reminds England of abysmal display in their last pink-ball Test

Speaking about the same, Root said that if they can exploit the events in Adelaide then that's something they will look to do. However, the England skipper reckoned that their main focus is to make early inroads, build pressure for periods of time and put balls in good areas, thus challenging the Indian batsmen's defence. Indicating that 36 all out is not their concern, Root reckoned that it is more for India to worry about. According to Root, 36 all out is something that will be in the back of their minds.

Joe Root's mind games haven't gone down well with former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer who trolled England in his own unique way. The former cricketer took to Twitter and reminded everyone that the last time England played a pink-ball Test was against New Zealand where they were reduced to 27/9 and were eventually bowled out for 58.

Meanwhile, after a solid outing in the second Test both with bat and gloves, Pant will look to replicate his performances in the India vs England 3rd Test that is slated to be played at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad. The India vs England 3rd Test is one of the most-anticipated games of India's home season, primarily for two reasons. It will not only be India's annual pink-ball Test but also the first game to be played at the newly-constructed world's largest cricket stadium at Motera in Ahmedabad. The India vs England live streaming of the 3rd Test will commence at 2:30 PM (IST).
