IND vs ENG: Although India took a 1-3 lead in the series against England, India’s playing XI will look different for the Dharamsala Test. Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will return to the team for the final Test match. To cope with the workload, Mohammed Siraj may take a break from the fifth Test. Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah was rested from the Ranchi Test. But now Jasprit Bumrah will once again join Team India for the final Test. However, it is not certain that star batsman KL Rahul will also play in the final Test. KL Rahul traveled to London to seek treatment for his injury.
In view of the five-Test series against England, a new strategy was developed by the team management. Even before this series, it was clear that the team’s two main fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, would not feature in all five Tests. Both players were in the starting eleven in the first test. But Mohammad Siraj was rested from the second Test. In the second Test, Mukesh Kumar got a chance in the 11th over in place of Siraj. However, in the third Test, Bumrah and Siraj were once again part of the eleven together. But after the Rajkot win, Bumrah was released from the team to give him a chance to rest. Akashdeep got a chance to debut in place of Bumrah in the fourth Test.
There will be changes to the game selection for the final test
But Bumrah and Siraj will not be seen playing together in the final Test. Bumrah will get a place in the playing XI in place of Siraj. Akashdeep, who impressed everyone with three wickets on his debut, can stay in the team. The final match of the series between India and England is scheduled to be played from March 7. All Team India players are currently on break. But on March 2, all players can gather in Chandigarh. From March 3, Team India players will begin net training for the final Test. Team India has already won the series.
