India and England will square off in the third Test of the ongoing five-match Test series at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on February 15. 

The two teams have matched each other toe-to-toe, with England drawing first blood in the Hyderabad Test by winning by 28 runs.

India avenged the defeat in the series opener by producing a terrific bowling display in Visakhapatnam, led by the unplayable Jasprit Bumrah, who became the fastest Indian pacer to reach the 150-wicket landmark in Tests and the first-ever Indian fast bowler to climb to the top of the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings. 

With all eyes set on the upcoming Test, which promises to be a mouth-watering, high-octane clash, The Sporting News brings you the pitch report and all the records for Rajkot.

The Rajkot pitch is usually conducive to batting during the early stages of the game, with spinners coming into play due to the wear and tear on offer off the pitch as the game progresses into Days 3, 4, and 5. According to a BCCI source, as quoted by TOI, “The Indian team management is comfortable with a slow turner. They don’t want a raging turner.”

2483 runs have been scored here across seven innings, with 58 wickets falling. This shows that for every wicket taken, 43 runs have been scored at this venue, further proving that the pitch is ideal for batsmen.
