Two changes in England team:

Mystery spinner Shoaib Bashir has got a place in the playing-11 in place of spinner Rehan Ahmed and fast bowler Ollie Robinson has got a place in the playing-11 in place of Mark Wood. England is also entering the fourth Test match with two specialist spinners (Hartley and Bashir) and two specialist fast bowlers (Anderson and Robinson).
I have never seen a pitch like this before: Stokes
England captain Ben Stokes said about the pitch: I have never seen a pitch like this before. So I don’t have any idea. I don’t know about this type of pitch, so can’t say anything more. I don’t know how it will behave. He said: It looks interesting. When viewed from the dressing room it looks like grass, but when you get closer, it looks completely different. Some cracks are visible in it.
Hope the pitch will help the spinners: Rathod
Indian team’s batting coach Vikram Rathod said on the eve of the fourth Test that whenever we play in India, a question mark is put on the pitch. Ranchi’s pitch is like a typical Indian wicket, which has cracks. There are always cracks in this wicket. He said that it will take a turn, but nothing can be said about how much and when it will take a turn, but our team is quite balanced. Vikram Rathore credited the strong domestic structure of the country for the excellent performance of young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan.
