After assisting&nbsp;Ousmane Dembele&nbsp;in the opener in the 29th minute, Messi&nbsp;himself found the net in the dying minutes to secure a win.

After completing a sensational win over England in less than 2 days in the 3rd Test, Team India are now just 1 game away from making it to the World Test Championship final. Team India is in the top spot of the table with 490 points collected and 71%&nbsp;points earned vs points available. New Zealand&nbsp;is in the 2nd spot ahead of Australia and England. With the loss in Ahmedabad, England is completely out of the race and can't possibly qualify for the final. England can spoil India's party if they manage to win the 4th and final Test which will send Australia to the final. For Team India, the equation is simple, they need to either win or draw the 4th Test to book their tickets for the final at the Lords.&nbsp;

Few former cricketers including Kevin Pietersen and Yuvraj Singh feel that pitches like the one in Ahmedabad aren't good for Test cricket

As the Pink-ball Test in Ahmedabad&nbsp;was over within 2 days, many former cricketers criticised the pitch of not being suitable for Test cricket. While former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen&nbsp;tweeted to say that such challenging pitches are fine for one Test but he and the batsmen don't want such pitches anymore. Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh&nbsp;too wasn't very happy with the pitch and questioned if it was good for Test cricket or not. He even went to write that had Anil&nbsp;Kumble and Harbhajan Singh bowled on these kind of wickets they might have bagged a thousand and 800 wickets respectively.&nbsp;

India Vs England, 3rd Test: India finished the game in 842 deliveries, their quickest victory in Test cricket in terms of balls bowled.

It took India less than 2 days to wrap up a clinical win as the hosts crushed England by 10 wickets in Ahmedabad to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the 4-match Test series. India finished the game in 842 deliveries, their quickest victory in Test cricket in terms of balls bowled.
Earlier,&nbsp;the hosts were all out for 145 in the 1st innings as Joe Root claimed his maiden 5-wicket haul in 1st class cricket. India though secured a crucial 33-run lead.
England's 2nd innings ended even before it took off as the visitors were bowled out for mere 81. The 49-run target proved to be a cakewalk for Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma as the openers took India over the finish line without any hiccup.&nbsp;

Axar Patel bamboozled England with figures of 5/32 and claimed his 3rd consecutive 5-wicket haul in just 2 Tests.

Yet another innings and once again Axar Patel made England dance to the tune of his bowling. The local lad bamboozled the visitors with figures of 5/32 and claimed his 3rd consecutive 5-wicket haul. He didn't let the absence of Ravindra Jadeja hurt India one bit and filled his shoes perfectly. Axar didn't just prove to be an ally for Ashwin but went a step further and proved even more threatening. With figures of 11/70 in the Ahmedabad Test, Axar&nbsp;now holds the record of best bowling figures in a pink ball Test.&nbsp;He might have played just 2 Tests, but with 18 wickets already, Axar Patel has become a headache for England.

Ashwin became the fastest overall and 2nd fastest Indian to pick 400 Test wickets in terms of matches

Ravichandran Ashwin isn't just a bowler in the subcontinental conditions, he is a phenomenon. England is getting a first-hand experience of that in the Test series, as the off-spinner once again ran through their batting order in Ahmedabad. During the process, Ashwin became the fastest overall and 2nd fastest Indian&nbsp;to pick 400 Test wickets in terms of matches. While&nbsp;Muralitharan achieved the feat in 72 Tests, Ashwin took just 5 games more. What makes this milestone grander is the fact that only 3 other Indians in the history of Test cricket have claimed over 400 wickets in the longest format.&nbsp;
