India has played two matches at this venue and crossed the 200-run mark on both occasions. Opener Rohit Sharma is India’s most successful batter here, but given that he will not feature in this series, coach VVS Laxman will be dependent on in-form Ishan Kishan, who was India’s leading run-scorer in the recently concluded T20I series against South Africa.

Meanwhile, in terms of the most successful bowlers on this track, it is the spinners who have usually found success, though pacers could also come in handy. Yuzvendra Chahal will have fond memories of this track, as he has scalped 6 wickets in the two games he played here.
Hence, Chahal will be India’s trump card when it comes to picking wickets. Besides him, Kuldeep Yadav has also been brilliant on this track, but given he is out with an injury, India could rely on another left-arm spinner in Axar Patel.
