IND vs ENG 5th Test: The India vs England Test series is set to close out at the picturesque HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala as the two teams take on each other for the fifth Test. After pocketing the series on the back of a valiant effort from Shubman Gill and Dhrub Jurel, the Men in Blue now look to accumulate some crucial World Test Championship points.
From the first Test in Hyderabad to the fourth in Ranchi, the teams have moved states one after the other in the series and the caravan has now come to end the campaign at the foothills of the Himalayas.
The weather at the 1457m above sea level in the hills is one to watch out for and so is the venue of this Test. The weather in this part of the country generally stays quite chilly and it would be no expectation in the Test match too.
