Earlier, on Friday, Hardik Pandya also posted pictures of the Motera Stadium and termed the experience of being at the world largest stadium as 'surreal'. Both India and England have won a match each thus the team that wins at Motera can’t lose the series. The match is also important in context of the World Test Championship. England need to win this match to stay alive in contention for the WTC final. Even a draw will end their hopes of qualifying. India, on the other hand, need a 2-1 win to quality. If the series ends in a draw, Australia will face New Zealand in the summit clash.
