Indian Team Strategy for Fourth Test Match Against England
In the upcoming fourth test match between India and England, Jasprit Bumrah might be rested, with Jahaswi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma likely to open after their stellar performance in the last match. Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav could form the spin attack, while Akashdeep may provide pace support alongside Mohammad Siraj. It’s crucial for Rajat Patidar to capitalize on opportunities, especially considering the strong performances by other batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and debutant Sarfaraz Khan in the previous match.
