IND vs Eng: Lord’s Test showed that Indian batting line-up could be weak, while Manchester wicket would demand higher speed options.
Team India will be worried about going to the fourth Test of the series, after all, they are ready to play in Manchester, which is the best place for bowlers in England. Those visitors are already below 2–1 in the series, and once again, they will have a selection headache even before this special conflict.
Forget the batting, it would be a difficult call to decide the bowling line, whether they want to go with Nitish Kumar Reddy and two spinners, or four pacers + NKR and three pacers with a spinner. It will be a big call to take. And before reaching a conclusion, they have to pay attention to some factors.
Management of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj management
Mohammad Siraj is a workahrcers for Team India. In 3 matches, he has taken 13 wickets, and even more importantly, bowled 109 overs. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled 86. Later only one more match will play in the series, and Siraj can simply be taken out. So, should both play in the next match. Perhaps yes, given the position of the chain … Shubman Gill needs two of his best bowlers to survive in the series. So, Bumrah and Siraj live.
Arshdeep Singh in Fry
Perhaps it is time to include Arshdeep Singh. Mostly, India has hit deck-deck bowlers, and the left-arm batsmen can add a little variety to the attack. Their inclusion will also mean this, he can come in, when the choice of Bumrah and Siraj is tired. Therefore, he warns an inclusion.
Hard calls between Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy
As coach Gautam Gambhir, he likes to play with an additional batsman/all-rounders. But given that India would like to go with additional speed options, confusion is strong. Vashi and NKR meant, could bat deeply to India. 8, but this will not be possible, if any of the two all-rounders have to go out. If on all, it will be NKR to maintain balance. But then, to get the batsman + bowler’s cushion, both NKR and Vashi must be retained.
Adarsh bowling line-up for 4th Test: Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Sirj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.
