India vs England 3rd Test Day 3 : Joe Root Dismisses Rohit Sharma, India Surpasses 150-run Lead
Joe Root dismisses Rohit Sharma for 19. Rohit attempted to sweep but failed. There were three reds on ball tracking, so Stokes sent the decision upstairs to the third umpire instead of making it on the field. Given that Rohit scored a fantastic century in the opening inning, England will be overjoyed. At this stage, something to rejoice about for England. Shubman Gill has moved to the center. As we update, Stokes has sent Mark Wood straight into the fray. It appears that they wish to employ it as a strategy against Gill. In the past, Anderson also caused a lot of trouble for Gill.
Due to a family situation, Ravichandran Ashwin was forced to withdraw from the Test squad late on Thursday night, which was a blow for the Indian team. India is currently missing one of their main players as they take on a formidable English team that is assisted by Joe Root and is spearheaded by Ben Duckett’s outstanding 133. Although Ashwin’s availability for the final two Tests is unknown, that is a worry for the future.
Earlier in the day, Ashwin reached a significant milestone when he dismissed Zak Crawley for his 500th Test wicket. He is the second Indian to accomplish this. Ollie Pope was also dismissed by Mohammed Siraj, and England was now 238 runs behind India.
In the first innings of the third Test in Rajkot, India leads by 126 runs, but Mohammed Siraj’s four wicket haul has restricted England to 319 on Day 3. With an incredible 153, Ben Duckett led England in scoring.
Earlier on Thursday night, Ravichandran Ashwin’s sudden withdrawal from the Test squad due to a family emergency sent the Indian team’s plans and methods into disarray.India’s batting and bowling lineup will consist of just ten players, however a replacement player may field in Ashwin’s place. Still, the Indian squad seems unfazed and intends to build on the momentum from the morning practice.
Siraj’s Brilliance Leads India’s Bowling Charge
On Day 2, Ashwin initiated India’s bowling assault when he guaranteed his 500th Test wicket, excusing Zak Crawley.In the longest format, he became the second Indian player to take 500 wickets with that same action. Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj cheaply returned Ollie Pope, and England now trail India by 238 runs.

India established tight control throughout the morning session, as England lost their final eight wickets for a total of just 112 runs. Ben Duckett scored a respectable 153 runs, but the English batting order was unstable despite his outstanding performance. Duckett’s heroic effort, which featured his second century-plus performance in Test cricket, offered some much-needed relief from the Indian bowlers’ barrage.
