This means Team India has a big lead of 286 runs, which is a clear indication of India’s best performance with the ball and bat. With three days of play left, Team India might allow all batters to bat for the preparation of the upcoming Test series and give confidence to all players because, for the WTC 2027 preparation, every Test match is important to gain points and qualify for the ICC World Test Championships under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.
The performance in Ahmadabad is the best example of India’s balance in batting and bowling.
