India vs England, 4th Test: Stats, Preview of Players' Records, and Approaching Milestones

India and England gear up for the fourth Test of the five-match Test series at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, which will be kicking off on 23rd February, 2024.

India, buoyed by their performances in the previous two games, will be high on confidence to repeat the same in the upcoming game in Ranchi. They did lose a few of their big players due to personal reasons and injuries, their situation became even worse when Ashwin withdrew in the middle of the third Test citing a family emergency, but the entire team stepped up and performed scintillatingly well to hand England an absolute thrashing in Rajkot, winning the game by a mammoth margin of 434 runs.

Ravindra Jadeja performed exceedingly well as an all-rounder in the third game with a combination of a century and a classic five-wicket haul, and was complemented by Jaiswal's explosive double-ton and impressive debuts from the duo of Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel. India will look to carry on the winning momentum going into the fourth Test.

England, on the flip side, have been on the receiving end after the first match and would really need a big performance to stay alive in the series. Their middle-order batters in the form of Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes have not been up to the mark in the last game, while Ben Duckett played a phenomenal knock in England's first innings of the previous game, while Zak Crawley has been in good form in the series except the last Test, in which he was substandard with the bat.

Their bowlers had ordinary outings too and would look to come up with some different strategies and plans. England will be looking to bounce back to winning ways.
