IND vs ENG: The fourth match of the 5-match Test series between India and England will be played on Ranchi grounds from 23 February. While England won one of the first three matches of this series, Team India managed to win two matches. In such a situation, Ranchi Test will be very important for both the teams in which the Indian team will have a chance to take an unassailable lead in the series. There is a lot of discussion about the pitch of this match, in which now Team India's batting coach Vikram Rathore has made a big revelation.

This is like a typical Indian wicket.

Regarding the pitch of Ranchi Test match, Vikram Rathore said in his statement that whenever we play in India, a question mark is put on the pitch. It is like a typical Indian wicket which has cracks. There are always cracks in this crisis. It will take a turn but nothing can be said yet about how much and when it will take a turn. But the balance of our team is much better. Rathod also said about Bumrah being rested from the Ranchi Test match that Bumrah is completely fit, but it is not right to play this fast bowler continuously. We also want Bumrah to play in every match. But it would not be appropriate that too when he has bowled a lot in the last three matches. Considering our schedule ahead and the IPL, we have decided to rest him.

Rathore gave this answer regarding KL Rahul

KL Rahul, who was out after the first match of this Test series due to being unfit, will not be seen playing in the fourth Test match also. When batting coach Vikram Rathore was asked a question regarding this, he said that he is not fit right now. I don't have complete knowledge as to what percentage he is fit right now, only the team of doctors will be able to tell the exact truth about it. As far as we are concerned, he is not fit and is not available for the match. So we are focusing on the players we have.
