Ind vs Eng 5th Test: Curtain from playing XI? Shubman Gill gave a big update on Bumrah and Arshadeep before the Oval Test
Shubman Gill Gives Update on Bumrah and Arshdeep: Team India is preparing for the Oval Test and Shubman Gill has given a big update about Bumrah and Arshadeep. Gill’s response to both players has increased the movement about playing XI. This is the last match of the series against England, so every update is monitored. This statement of Gill has given some signs, but the picture regarding the team combination is still not completely clear.
Team India captain Shubman Gill has indicated in a press conference held on Wednesday, 30 July a day before the Oval Test that fast bowler Arjdeep Singh may get a chance to play the first Test of his career against England. The 26 -year -old left -handed pace has so far taken 99 wickets in 63 T20 Internationals, while taking 14 wickets in ODIs. Now it seems to be the time of Test debut.
Gill said that Arshdeep has been asked to be ready and the playing XI will be decided after watching the pitch. However, the indications are clear that Arshdeep may get a chance to replace one of Jasprit Bumrah and Anshul Kamboj.
Talking about Jaspreet Bumrah, he has been India’s most successful bowler in this series. He has taken 14 wickets in 3 matches, but his performance in the Manchester Test faded. Bumrah scored 103 runs in 33 overs in that match, it was the most expensive spell of his career.
Gill said on Bumrah, “The decision will be taken tomorrow, the pitch looks quite green. Let’s see.” That is, whether Bumrah will play or not, it is still not decided. Talking about the spin department, Gill told that Ravindra Jadeja and Washington will be the main spinners. This means that Kuldeep Yadav may have to sit out again.
Team India is behind 1-2 in this series and Gill admitted that it would be very important for the team to draw 2-2. He said, “It was difficult to guess the winning team even after the first four days in every match. This series has been very taught for us.
