Probable XI of England vs India, 4th Test: Who will replace Jasprit Bumrah as Rohit Sharma & Co? , cricket news

With a 2-1 lead, India will face England in the fourth Test in Ranchi and hope to win the five-match series. However, the hosts, who have already missed key players in three matches so far, will be without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, who was released from the team ahead of the game starting on Friday, February 23. The decision to rest Bumrah “was taken keeping in mind the duration of the series and the amount of cricket he has played in recent times.” Mukesh Kumar, who was released from the team for the third Test, has been included back into the team as cover for Bumrah.

England captain Ben Stokes said that he found the appearance of the Ranchi pitch quite misleading as from a distance he thought it had proper grass, but on closer inspection, the all-rounder found that several cracks were visible and it Can be challenging. For both batting and bowling sides.

According to Stokes’ description of the pitch, India may be tempted to play an extra spinner, with Axar Patel replacing Bumrah in the eleven.

What we believe could be India’s final XI for the fourth Test against England:

Openers: Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal

India captain Rohit Sharma put his doubts to rest with a crucial century in the first innings of the game in Rajkot. Rohit managed to take India out of danger during his 200+ run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja. With both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul out, he will try to play another big innings in Ranchi.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored two double centuries in as many matches. The young opener leads the series scoring charts with 545 runs in six innings. He will continue to open with Rohit.

Middle order: Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel

Like Rohit, Gill also did a big favor to himself and India by scoring 91 runs in the second innings in Rajkot. Big innings are expected from Gill in the remaining matches.

Madhya Pradesh star Rajat Patidar has not been able to adjust to the pressure of international cricket. In two matches he scored 46 runs at an average of 11.50. However, he is likely to be backed by the management for one more game.

Making their Rajkot debut, batsman Sarfaraz Khan and wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel looked less than impressed by the occasion.

When Sarfaraz got the opportunity after years of hard work in domestic cricket, he took advantage of it. He scored half-centuries in both innings, and could have reached triple figures in both had it not been for the unfortunate run-out and India’s innings declaration.

Jurel, who replaced KS Bharat as a stumper, was technically and naturally good. He also played a quick inning of 46 runs in the first innings and was active behind the stick.

Allrounders: Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja shone on his home ground and scored a century in the first innings. He proved to be a match winner with the ball as well and India defeated England by taking five wickets in the second innings.

Ashwin took his 500th Test wicket in his second over of the match itself. However, it took him a few days to reach his 501st score, as he left for Chennai midway through the match to spend time with his ailing mother.

Bowlers: Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep

Kuldeep will play as the third spin option while Siraj will lead the pace attack in the absence of Bumrah. There is every possibility of Bengal fast bowler Akash Deep making his debut.

India’s probable XI for the fourth Test against England:

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep.
