Team India lost the Test in Ahmedabad in the year 2008

The stadium in Ahmedabad which is now the largest cricket stadium in the world was earlier known as Motra. Team India has not lost a single match on this ground for the last 15 years. Team India lost here in the year 2008, since then it has either won or drawn the match. Team India lost to South Africa in the year 2008 under the captaincy of Anil Kumble. Then the Indian team was defeated by an innings and 90 runs. Since then today is the day, Team India has not lost a single match in Ahmedabad. After this defeat, in the years 2009 and 2010, first Sri Lanka and then drew the match with New Zealand. After this, in the year 2012, England were defeated by nine wickets. After this match, the rejuvenation of the stadium started, obviously the matches stopped happening here. After this, in the year 2021, Team India played two consecutive Test matches from England here and defeated them by 10 wickets in the first match and by an innings and 25 runs in the second match. After that match, now a Test match is being played here. That is, the record of not losing here has been of the Indian team for almost 15 years.

Team India faces the challenge of entering the finals of WTC

The difficulty in front of Team India is that if the match does not lose and ends in a draw, then it will have to hope that at least one of the Test series going on between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, either Sri Lanka does not lose. So end up on par. That is, if the Ahmedabad Test of the Indian team is a draw, then the series will be captured, but then they will have to keep an eye on the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand match. If Sri Lanka wins both the matches, then Team India will be out of the WTC i.e. World Test Championship, whereas if even one match is drawn then Team India will directly enter the finals. However, three days are still left and it should be expected that the Indian team will try to counterattack and win the match. Overall, on the third day of the match, the cards will be seen opening that where the match is going.
