Currently, the English team is on a 2–1 lead. This match is important for both teams. India would like to win it and draw the series 2-2, while the English team would like to win the Oval and win the series. Before this match, know India’s Possible playing-11 through five questions …
Question-1: Will Bumrah play the last Test or not? The Indian team management will decide Jasprit Bumrah’s decision to play or not just before the match. Team India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said on the question of Bumrah’s playing- ‘They are fully fit. But their workload is yet to be decided. Before the match, we will decide whether to feed Bumrah or not. Announcing the Indian team, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said- ‘Bumrah will play only three Test matches’.
If Bumrah does not play the Oval Test. Mohammad Siraj will be seen leading the Indian team’s pace attack. Akash Deep can support them when fit. If this does not happen, then one of Shardul or famous will be responsible for another pacer. Arshdeep Singh will get a chance to debut as the third pace. It is being told that they have recovered from a finger injury and feeding them in the last match have also been discussed.
Question-2: Who will get a chance in place of injured Pant? Rishabh Pant is out of the last Test of this series due to injury. BCCI has included N Jagdishan in the Indian party as his alternative. However, Dhruv Jurlel will be the first choice of wicketkeeping in place of Pant, as the team management is less likely to choose a new player for wicketkeeping in a crucial match.
Question-3: Will Sai Sudarshan get a chance again? Sai Sudarshan, who made her debut for India in the Leeds Test, has been able to score only 91 runs in this series with an average of 22.75. They could only score a half -century in four innings and were at zero 2 times. Sai scored 61 runs in difficult conditions in the first innings of the Manchester Test, although he was dismissed for zero in the first over of the second innings.
If Sai gets another chance, he will bat on number-3. And if Sai Sudarshan is dropped, then there will be Abhimanyu Ishwar, Karun Nair, N Jagdishan Davedan for the number-3 position. Team management will also have the option to land Sundar on number-3.
Question-4: Will there be a chance to Shardul or will the management a chance to Kuldeep? Kuldeep’s not playing will depend largely on the oval pitch. Shardul Thakur has scored 46 runs in 2 matches. In this series, he has been bowled only 27 overs, in which he has taken 2 wickets. Kuldeep has not yet got a chance in the series. Kuldeep can be part of the playing-11 if the pitch remains flat again.
Question-5: Will Arshdeep Singh debut? Arshdeep Singh can get a debut cap. They have recovered from a finger injury. He has been seen bowling in the pre-match practice session on Tuesday. Anshul Kamboj, who made her debut in the last match, has not been able to do anything special. In such a situation, Arshdeep can now be given a chance.
