England England acting captain Oli Pope decided to bowl by winning the toss against India in the fifth and final Test here on Thursday. India has made four changes in the playing XI, instead of Dhruv Jurlel, Karun Nair, Akashdeep and the famous Krishna in place of injured Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, Anshul Kamboj and Jaspreet Bumrah.
Due to the pitch being green, Kuldeep Yadav once again missed the opportunity to be a part of the last eleven. However, in the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah, Akashdeep’s joining with the Indian team is good news for fans. The England team will be without their regular captain Ben Stokes. England is 2–1 in the five-match series. Despite Kamboj’s drop, Arshdeep Singh did not get a chance to debut, which is a bit disappointed.
