India trounced Joe Root’s side by 10 wickets in Ahmedabad in a match that concluded within two days. Batsmen from both sides struggled against the skidding pink ball and only two of them managed half-centuries.
Some former cricketers and pundits have blamed the pitch for being too demanding too early.
Addressing an online press conference on Sunday, Ben Foakes admitted that the visitors had been “thoroughly outplayed” in the last two Tests and are aiming to come back stronger.
In addition to showing off his exemplary keeping skills, Ben Foakes has accumulated 64 runs from four innings in this series.
“The last two pitches are the hardest I have kept on” - Ben Foakes
Ben Foakes, who is touted as England’s best gloveman at the moment, labeled the two wickets as the toughest of his career. He also said if England can salvage a draw in Ahmedabad, it will be a good result for the team.
The fourth and final Test of the India-England series will be played in Ahmedabad from March 4. A win or a draw would see India qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
