Education Inflation
The rising costs of higher education in India have become a significant barrier for many students, threatening to undermine the country’s aspirations for inclusive growth and development.
The third and final T20I will be played at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. The series is currently levelled at 1-1 and thus the Mumbai encounter acts as the series decider. The team that wins the match will lift the trophy. When both the captains come out for the toss, they would be aware of the history of the wicket and the venue.
Bat first, elect to field
The toss has always been crucial on this wicket. The team that wins the toss has a massive advantage. Indian fans would be hoping that Indian skipper Virat Kohli wins the toss and India chase down the target set by West Indies. This is because teams chasing clearly have a better record at this venue.
