There will be big changes in Team IndiaImage Credit Source: PTI
Team India proved all the apprehensions wrong and shocked everyone by postponing defeat in the Manchester Test match. In the fourth Test match against England, Team India batting for the last one and a half days not only ended the lead of 311 runs, but also took the lead of 114 runs by losing just 4 wickets and drawn the match. For Team India, this result was no less than a win, but despite this, 4 players of Team India may be out in the last Test.
Like the first three matches of this series, in the fourth Test, Team India’s playing XI was under question. Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj made his debut while Shardul Thakur also returned as an all -rounder. But despite this, the question was why Team India came down with 4 major fast bowlers or why spinner Kuldeep Yadav was not chosen with 3 fast bowlers.
Pant out of series, questions on Bumrah
The same question is arising even before the fifth and last Test match of the series. The last Test will start from 31 July at Kennington Oval ground in London and it is also scheduled to change the Indian playing-11. It is believed that 4 players playing in Manchester Test may have to sit outside. In this, one name is of wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who has been out of the series itself. In such a situation, Dhruv Jurael will get a chance in his place.
But apart from Pant, there are 3 players who can be outside without any injury. The biggest name in this is star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah, whose workload management has been a topic of discussion in the entire series. It was already announced that he would play only 3 Tests in the series. Bumrah had to play due to the series being at stake in the Manchester Test. Although he was completely neutralized. But now the question is whether coach Gautam Gambhir will also take Bumrah in the last Test, bypassing Gambhir Gambhir, which will be the fourth Test in the series.
Shardul-Dishul will also be out
While there is doubt on Bumrah, Shardul Thakur and Anshul Kamboj are sure to drop. Shardul’s election also became the reason for the debate as Team India bowled 152 overs during England’s innings, in which only 11 overs were bowled with Shardul and he had spent 55 runs without taking any wickets. In such a situation, it is clear that captain Shubman Gill does not trust him.
At the same time, 24 -year -old Anshul Kamboj was also ineffective. In particular, his average speed was only 129 km per hour in the debut test match, which raised questions on his ability. However, his fitness is also being considered as a reason and the team management is also surrounded whether he fed him despite not being fully fit?
Kuldeep Yadav’s luck will open
It is a matter of relief for the Indian team that Akash Deep, who was the star of Edgbaston Test, has become fit, while Arshdeep Singh has also recovered from hand injury. Apart from him, famous Krishna is also available. In such a situation, Akash may return to Akash’s team instead of Anshul and if the team relaxes Bumrah, then the famous can get a chance again. Looking at the oval pitch, it seems that Kuldeep Yadav’s wait in the last Test may end.
