Naturally, the attention will centre around the local duo of Ashwin and Vijay. During the previous Test at this venue, the off-spinner had picked up 12 wickets against Michael Clarke's Australian side. But, the opener could only manage scores of 10 and 6 before coming into his own in the next two matches. With both in prime form, this could be an opportunity for the fans to witness two of the best players that Tamil Nadu has ever produced.

For the visitors, the onus will be on Stokes following his public outburst against ICC and Indian players. The mercurial all rounder might be eager to help England take back something meaningful from a series that has only exposed quite a few frailties in their setup.
