The fifth and last Test match between India and England will be played at Cainington Oval. Prior to this match, there was a tension between the pitch curator and head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir lashed out at the pitch curator. In fact, the curator had stopped the coaching staff of the Indian team from coming around the pitch, after which the serious enraged. But now a day before the match, Indian captain Shubman Gill reached the Oval pitch. There he inspected the pitch. The big thing is that Shubman Gill was also wearing shoes and the pitch curator Lee Curtis Fortis was standing nearby and watching them.
When Shubman Gill arrives on the oval pitch…
Before the Oval Test, a video of Shubman Gill is going viral in which he is going on the pitch and inspecting him. They are sitting on the knees looking at the pitch and touching it and considering it as a mood. During this time, Curtis Fortis was also present there and this time he did not interrupt anyone.
How is the oval pitch
Shubman Gill has told that the oval pitch is different from the last four Test matches. According to Gill, the pitch is quite green, which will help the fast bowlers. Perhaps this is the reason that the England team has not given a chance to a single specialist spinner in the playing XI. England have chosen Vox, Gas Atkinson, Tung and Overton in the team. At the same time, both Stokes and Archer are out of the playing XI. Captain Stokes has a shoulder injury and Archer has been rested.
Team India’s playing XI will be like this
Seeing the pitch prepared for the Oval Test, Team India’s playing XI can be gauged. It is believed that Shardul Thakur can also play in the Oval Test. If you do not play Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh can enter the ground. Akash Deep may return and the team’s bowling Mohammad Siraj will be seen leading. By the way, Gill said that the final decision on Bumrah will be taken before the toss. Kuldeep Yadav will hardly get a chance in the Oval Test.
