IND Vs Eng 5th Test: Why Arshdeep Singh did not get a chance of debut (photo-PTI)
Team India did not give fast bowler Arshdeep Singh a chance to debut in the Oval Test. Everyone was surprised to see this, especially Indian fans who were waiting for the first match in this bowler’s Test. Taking a shocking decision, Team India selected the famous Krishna again in the playing XI. This right-handed fast bowler proved to be very expensive, his line-length looked bad but despite this, Shubman Gill expressed confidence in him. However, the big question here is why Arshdeep was not given a chance? It is believed that Arshdeep Singh is probably not fully fully fit right now, he suffered a hand injury before the Manchester Test. By the way, if Arshdeep Singh had landed at the Oval, he could have done well.
