According to a report in the Times of India,&nbsp;ICC&nbsp;is planning an alternate venue in England due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

27 wickets from 3 Tests including 4 five-wicket haul, Axar Patel couldn't have asked for a more fitting start to his Test career.

27 wickets from 3 Tests including 4 five-wicket haul, Axar&nbsp;Patel couldn't have asked for a more fitting start to his Test career. The all-rounder spun his web of destruction in such a way that English batsmen looked clueless for&nbsp;answers. Axar&nbsp;in fact now has the 2nd most 5-wicket-hauls in debut Test series, just 1 less than Australia's Rodney Hogg. Moreover, he now holds the record for the most number of 5-fers&nbsp;amongst Indians&nbsp;after first 3 Tests. Interestingly, the only Test England won on their tour to India was the one which didn't feature Axar&nbsp;and since then he has made the 3 Lions dance to the tune of his bowling.&nbsp;

India beat England in Ahmedabad and extended their winning run in home Tests under Virat to 10 games.

India have now made it a habit of staging strong comebacks in a series,&nbsp; as despite a big loss in the 1st Test, Virat Kohli's men bounced back to win 3 games in a row to take the Test series 3-1. India already had led England at the start of day 3 any any more runs would have been a bonus. Washington&nbsp;Sundar&nbsp;made sure it was a big enough as his unbeaten 96 helped India finish at 365, securing a 160-run lead. It proved good enough as England were bowled out for 135 and India didn't even had to bat again. India tamed the 3 Lions by an innings and 25 runs and extended their winning run in home Tests under Virat&nbsp;to 10 games. The result also meant that India has now qualified for the World Test Championship final and will face New Zealand at Lord's in June.&nbsp;

Last 3 Indian wickets fell within a span of just 5 balls with Sundar&nbsp;watching it from the other end. Never the less, he may have to wait for the feat but his 96 proved crucial for India to secure a 160-run 1st innings lead on a pitch which isn't very easy to bat on.&nbsp;

Day 2 of the 4th Test in Ahmedabad could have very easily belonged to England had Rishabh Pant not turned the tide against the visitors. Resuming at 24/1, India had a top-order collapse as Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane fell quickly, leaving India in a vulnerable position at 80/4. Rohit Sharma continued to fight but was dismissed for a hard-fought 49. Pant then changed the complexion of the game with his 3rd Test ton. He was well supported by Washington Sundar, who too brought up his half-century. Pant got out for 101 but Sundar's unbeaten 60 helped India end day 2 in command at 294/7, leading England by 89 runs.&nbsp;

But it all changed the moment Rishabh Pant walked out to bat.
The Delhi lad tamed the 3 Lions with shots all over the ground and smashed his 3rd overall and 1st Test hundred on home soil with a six.&nbsp;
He was cautious to start with and brought up his half-century in 82 balls. But once Rohit Sharma fell, Pant cut loose and smashed next 50 runs in just 33 deliveries.
Interestingly, since his Test debut back in August 2018, no other batsman has notched up scores of over 90 more times than Pant.
Though he eventually got out on 101, but Pant is now the&nbsp;2nd highest run-scorer in Tests in 2020, just behind Joe Root.&nbsp;
