Even after a great debut, Team India is at risk of being left out of the starting XI, with the game taking place on March 7.
India vs England Test Series: India has won the ongoing Test series between Team India and England. But the last game is still to come. Although this game does not have much significance, the possibility that the Indian team will leave no stone unturned in the next game is not foreseeable at the moment. The series will be played as part of the World Test Championship and every match is very important, which is why the Indian team will go into the field at full strength. Meanwhile, there is tension over whether Akash Deep, who made his debut in Ranchi, can grab his place in the Dharamshala match.
Akash Deep has made an excellent debut
Akash Deep has performed brilliantly in domestic cricket. Only then did he take part in the Indian Test. Akash Deep, who forced the British to capitulate with brilliant bowling in his first game, might not be in the starting XI in the next game. The real reason for this is the return of Jasprit Bumrah. When BCCI announced the team for the final Test, Bumrah’s name was also included in it. Before that, there is Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep. There is a possibility that the pacers will get help in Dharamshala. In such a situation, the Indian team would like to take the field with just two pacers. Bumrah, Siraj, Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep are the four pacers in the Indian team. Jasprit Bumrah will definitely be there but the curtain is not yet lifted on who will be the second pacer.
Took three wickets in the first game
When Akash Deep made his debut against England in Ranchi, he picked up three wickets in the first innings of the game for 83 runs. Also scored 9 runs with the bat. Captain Rohit Sharma didn’t give him a chance to bowl in the second innings of the game. There is a chance of Akash Deep playing in the next game only if the team management thinks about giving Mohammad Siraj a rest. If Siraj also plays and Bumrah also plays, then it seems difficult for Akash Deep to get a place in the playing XI. A lot will also depend on what the playing field is like in Dharamshala. It remains to be seen what final decision will be made.
India’s team for the final Test: Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, KS Bharat, Devdutt Padikkal, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep.
