It is reported that in the last Test against England, Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the playing-11. Akash Deep or famous Krishna, who returned to fit instead of Anshul Kamboj, can get a chance.
India Vs England Test Series: The five -match Test series against Team India and England has now reached the final and decisive phase. After making a spectacular draw in the fourth Test match, India is looking for Perfect playing-11, especially the right bowling combination before the last match at the Oval after three days. As such, the priority of boosting a specialist bowler by India has been constantly questioned during the entire series, especially when Shardul Thakur, who was playing instead of injured Nitish Reddy, was used for just 11 overs in Old Trafford. But for the first time since 2014, India has given more than 600 runs in Old Trafford, so the case of inclusion of wicket -taking bowlers in the team is much stronger than ever, who have been sitting on the bench for the last 40 days.
Akash Deep or famous Krishna can get a chance
After a disappointing start, Akash Deep or famous Krishna, who returned to the place of Anshul Kamboj, may get a chance. Arshdeep Singh, who has been an important player for the team like Kuldeep, has also recovered from hand injury and will be dreaming of Test debut in this very exciting series. However, head coach Gautam Gambhir declared all the fast bowlers fit in his aggressive tone after a draw on Sunday. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, who were the main players of a brilliant draw, were part of India’s top six batsmen in the second innings due to Rishabh Pant’s injury and showed remarkable patience while batting for more than two seasons to save the match and also scored a brilliant century during this time. If the same method is adopted in the oval, then Dhruv Jurael will come down to bat at number seven and India can sit on the bench and land with four bowlers, who are not getting enough overs anyway.
Kuldeep Yadav may be involved in playing-11
The fourth bowler can be Kuldeep as the pitch is expected to help the spinners. The team management itself believes that he is deliberately trying to include Kuldeep in the playing-11, but the current trend of batting up to number eight has stopped him from doing so. During the fourth Test, India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel said, “So Kuldeep, we are trying to find some way for him.”
