Training was cancelled owing to a wet ground, despite the stadium boasting of one of the best drainage systems in the country.
India are leading the five-match series 3-0 and should they taste success in the final Test, it will be their biggest against England, the previous being the 3-0 whitewash in 1992-93 under Mohammed Azharuddin’s captaincy.
It will be a sweet revenge for the twin defeats, including a 4-0 drubbing in 2011, which India suffered at the hands of England in the last two series between the two nations.
Having clinched the rubber, skipper Virat Kohli has asserted that India would now “really express ourselves fully” and hope to make it 4-0 against opponents who are looking bruised and battered.
