The third match of the Test series between India and England ended at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad in just two days. With a 2–1 lead in the Test series against England, Team India continued their reign at home. The final match of the series will be held on the field. Many England players defended Motera’s pitch after the team lost badly against India, but his country’s great cricketer Sir Geoffrey Boycott has backed India.
Responding to a fan query, he said that any such rule in the Cricket Book or the International Cricket Council should not be written on the pitch. This time the fan asked what you would say about Mottra’s pitch. Notably, many former England cricketers criticized the spin-friendly Motera pitch after gaining an edge in the Team India series. These cricketers include celebrities like Kevin Peterson, Michael Vaughan and Aleister Cook.
