Akila&nbsp;Dananjaya&nbsp;had a rollercoaster of an evening in the 1st T20 vs West Indies in Antigua. The Sri&nbsp;Lankan spinner while helping his side defend a below-par 131/9&nbsp;took a hattrick&nbsp;which included some big scalps like Evin&nbsp;Lewis, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. The flurry of wickets dented West Indies' chase but what came next is something no one could predict. Captain Kieron&nbsp;Pollard came out and smashed the hattrick&nbsp;hero for 6 sixes in an over. Pollard is now the 2nd cricketer to smash 6 sixes in T20 internationals as West Indies reached the 132 run target with little less than 7 overs&nbsp;to go.

After vice-captain Ajinkya&nbsp;Rahane&nbsp;confirmed that the pitch in the 4th Test in Ahmedabad&nbsp;will a turning track, focus once again goes back to the turf. As the previous match at Motera lasted for less than 2 days, how long will the final Test last?

With most Indian batsmen apart from Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;unable to find a&nbsp;rhythm&nbsp;in this series, the final Test will be a good opportunity to rake in big scores.&nbsp;

4-day Test matches coming soon?

With the increasing popularity of the T20 leagues around the globe, Test cricket has seen a drastic dip in eyeballs. In their quest to expand the bilateral calendar,&nbsp;ICC's cricket committee may formally consider trimming Tests from 5 days to 4 for the 2023-2031 cycle. Interestingly,&nbsp;If four-day Tests were held during the 2015-2023 cycle, it would have freed up 335 days of scheduled cricket. It isn't a new concept though with the last one played between England and Ireland earlier this year. South Africa and Zimbabwe too played a 4-day Test in 2017.
