Not a lot in it for the bowlers, but this being a red soil pitch, spin will come into play later on. It's a good cricket pitch and a high score can be expected."

Chakravarthy was seen training and bowling in the nets on Tuesday.
- 12:29 (IST)India vs England Live: Pant or Rahul?KL Rahul, who kept wickets in Rishabh Pant's absence during the 2023 World Cup, performed admirably, scoring 452 runs and proving to be one of India's most consistent middle-order batters. His stability has been instrumental in creating a formidable ODI setup, but his strike rotation in the middle overs remains a concern. On the other hand, the left-handed Pant offers variety in India's right-hand dominated top order. Additionally, his unpredictability, raw power, and ability to clear with breathtaking ease make him the X-factor.
