Question-1: Who is the third fast bowler in the absence of Bumrah? Jasprit Bumrah has been rested from the fifth Test match against England at Oval due to waist problems. Akash Deep has been included in the Indian team. The Medical Team of the Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI) has taken this decision in view of Bumrah's fitness.
Cricket website ESPN Cricketinfo has claimed that Bumrah decided to play in the last Test to do the series, but the medical team decided to rest with his fitness.
In the absence of Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj will be seen leading the Indian team's pace attack. If it is fit, Akash Deep can support it. If this does not happen, another pace of Shardul or the famous will take responsibility for the bowler. Arshadeep Singh will have the opportunity to debut as a third pace bowler. It is being said that he has recovered from the finger injury and is being discussed in the last match.
Question-2: Who will have the opportunity to replace the injured? Rishabh Pant has been eliminated from the last test of the series due to injury. BCCI replaced N. Jagdisan is included in the Indian team. But, Dhruv Jurel will be the first choice for wicketkeeping in place of Pant, as it is unlikely that team management chooses a new player for wicketkeeping in the important match at Oval.
Question-3: Will Sai Sudarshan get a chance again? Sai Sudarshan, who debuted for India in the Leeds Test, has been able to score only 91 runs in the series at an average of 22.75. He was able to score only one half century in four innings and was twice out on Zero. Sai scored 61 runs in difficult situations in the first innings of the Manchester Test, however, he was out on Zero in the first over of the second innings.
If Sai gets another chance, he will bat at number 3. And if Sai Sudarshan is dropped, Abhimanyu Aishwar, Karun Nair, N. Jagdisan No. 3 will be a contender for position. Team management will also have the option to bat Sundar at No. 3.
Question-4: Will management give Shardul or Kuldeep a chance? Whether Kuldeep plays or not will most depend on the pitch of the oval. Shardul Thakur has scored 46 runs in 2 matches. In this series she has only 27 overs, in which she has taken 2 wickets. Kuldeep has not had a chance in the series so far. If the pitch remains flat again, Kuldeep may be part of the Playing-11.
Question-5: Will Arshadeep Singh debut? Arshadeep Singh can get a debut cap. He has recovered from the finger injury. He was seen bowling in a practice session before the match on Tuesday. Anshul Kamboj, who debuted in the last match, could not do anything special. In such a situation, Arshadeep can now be given a chance.
