WATCH: Team India's indoor batting practice ahead of ENG vs IND 4th Test

Team India had to do their net practice sessions with indoor facilities at Manchester ahead of the 4th match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. A pile of dark clouds was over Old Trafford; the pitches were all covered. Due to the weather conditions, arrangements for outdoor practice were not possible. So, the brigade in Blue had to stay indoors.

The video of India's indoor practice sessions, especially their net practice to enhance their batting skills, is on the internet. Though, captain Shubman Gill and injured pacer Arshdeep Singh were spotted on the ground for a while for warming up.

According to the weather forecast, there will be chances of constant rain on Day 1 of the England vs. India 4th Test (ENG vs IND 4th Test). According to weather reports, Manchester's sky will be covered with clouds, and chances of rain will be there from the daytime. If the weather forecasts are to be believed, then the first day of the game has a heavy chance to be interrupted by rain. The weather can maintain a heavy nature on Day 2 also. Because of wet conditions, the match can be influenced; bowlers, especially field-first team bowlers, can get extra support from the conditions. Thus, the toss can take a crucial role in the contest.

Team India has no option but to win

The Manchester Test is going to be a must-win match for Team India, as England is leading the race by 2-1. In the previous match, at Lord's cricket ground, the away team suffered a wrenching narrow defeat against the host. To decide the winner, the remaining two matches have become more crucial than ever. 

India lost two games already in the series to make their position more rough. During the matches at Leeds and Lord's, Gautam Gambhir's coached side faced batting collapses. If they made the same mistakes at Manchester, then they may have to pay for it at a heavy cost.
