The upcoming fifth Test will mark the second red-ball international match to be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association stadium in Dharamsala. This scenic venue has previously hosted only one Test between India and Australia, which the hosts comfortably won in 2017.
Having suffered a defeat in Ranchi last month, England has already lost the series. However, they will be playing for pride and two crucial points in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle when they face Rohit Sharma's men for the final time on this tour.
