India, which leads the series 2-1, must draw the series to reserve the place in the final of the inaugural World Test Championship against New Zealand in June. 

England had lost all the wickets on the first day of the final test match of the current tour which also has become a must-win match for the visitors to level the series.

If India wins the third Test, Virat Kohli will become India's most successful test captain at home and he would break the record of his predecessor MS Dhoni. 

The Indian team had won the second test match against England by 317 runs and through the victory, Kohli had equaled MS Dhoni's record of the maximum number of wins for an Indian captain at home.

Both the teams will be playing the next two Test matches at Ahmedabad following which they will be turning into colors for the limited-overs game.

Around 291 players from both India and abroad were on the auction list and in the event that lasted for five hours, most of the players were bought while some had left unsold.
