Fans in the stadium celebrate gleefully following successful DRS reviews on Day 1 of the fourth India-England Test in Ranchi

The fourth Test between India and England began this morning (February 23) at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. The hosts are presently leading the 5-match series 2-1.

England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and chose to bat first on a challenging pitch.

 Debutant pacer Akash Deep caused havoc on England’s batting line-up, causing a top-order collapse that gave India a strong start.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja each took one wicket to help the hosts complete a spotless first session, reducing England to 112/5 before lunch on Day 1.

Fans at Ranchi’s stadium liked the fast-paced action provided by Indian bowlers.

They also reacted passionately when the home team received two successful DRS reviews to capture important wickets of Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow.

Aakash Chopra, a former Indian batter, has addressed the issue in a YouTube video. He disagreed with Stokes, arguing that the umpire’s call should be included since DRS is not flawless.
