The Indian Team is likely to make big changes in the fourth Test which is all set to be held today at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. England is already leading by 2-1 and Shubman Gill and co will be aiming to bounce back stronger. The stakes are very high as India already lost Leeds and Lords Test.
In the opening Test at Leeds, Sai Sudharsan made his Test debut but he failed miserably and went for a duck. Following which, in the second Test, the team management decided to drop him and bring in Karun Nair. But now according to a report by Express Sports, Karun Nair will be dropped for the 4th Test and Sai Sudharsan will be playing in his place.
Apart from the top-order changes, Akashdeep has also been ruled out and it is likely that Anshul Kamboj will be making his Test debut. Meanwhile, in place of Nitish Reddy ,Shardul Thakur is likely to come in.
One of the biggest positives for India is that their top pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be seen in action and all eyes will be on Bumrah to strike early and provide the crucial breakthrough. In the last Test at Lord’s India lost by 22 runs as the team witnessed a complete batting collapse.
It was only Ravindra Jadeja who stood as the lone warrior on crease and it was his efforts that helped India reach atleast 170 while chasing the target of 193.
