Will India break Manchester curse?
The men in blue are yet to win a single test in Manchester and that certainly puts the spotlight on Shubman Gill and his team. It's time for young team to bury the ghost. While India slaye dthe deamon in Birmingham, they will have to do the same in Manchester as well where they have 5 draws and 4 losses from the 9 Test matches.
Besides history and weather the series is also on the line. Despite dominating the matches, Shubman Gill's side hacve failed to land the killer blow when it mattere dthe most. Sloppy fielding , batting collapse are couple of reason why the away team are finding themselves 2-1 down in the series after three matches.
England won the match at Leeds and Lords, while India broke the jinx in Birmingham. It's a do-or-die situatuion for Gautam Gambhir's boys . The big question is whether they will survive the Manchester storm or will their hope of levellling the series will be shredded in pieces.
