England vs India 4th test starts from today, Major changes in Indian Camp

Fourth test of India's England series starts from today in Oval cricket ground. The first match were a draw , in the second test at Lords India won and in the 3rd test at Leeds India faced a humiliating loss for an Innings and 76 runs. Now scores are leveled (1-1) 2 more test remaining.

India has to win this match they have no other options with them. Not only to take lead in the series but also to prove the audience.

Indian team and Captain Kohli are in a situation he never faced. One side many questions about his form , he tried to prove it wrong in the last test but the critics are not satisfied. Next is about his team selection and captaincy.

In the last test after a long time Kohli won the toss, that some rare luck. But anyhow he decided to bat first, after few overs England Pacers made clear that was a wrong decision king Kohli. Indian team utterly failed and consumed their lowest total in 2021. And that was the 3rd lowest total by india when batted first in a test match. Eventually India lost for an Innings and 76 runs.

After a long time India is with its fulll potential squad. Yes unlike the last year Australian series , India has all its weapons in the camp. But unfortunately something is not working with the final eleven.

Mayank Agarwals Injury made a new opening pair K L Rahul and Rohit Sharma .

The pair played well in the 2nd test. Rahul scored a century too. But 3rd test Rahul failed to hold on. Most probably Rahul will get one more chance for the Oval test.

And here comes the problem , Pujara , Rahane , Kohli, none didn't came up to the expectations yet. Pujara scored a 91 runs in the 2nd innings in Leeds Test. But he failed in other matches.

Rahane is not in a good form for few matches. Somehow scored a half century but that not the level we expect from him.

Pujara and Rahane are India's test specialists, but it seems like they lost the importance.

" There is a great chance that both will not be present in todays test, most probably Ajinkya Rahane has to walk out of eleven, Hanuma Vihari might come to the position

There is a little chance of Kohli taking a rest, if thats the case then Rahane will stand as experienced test captain.

Rishabh Panth didn't perform well in the series, we couldn't forget his amazing match winning performances in last Australian tour. That true he came as a savior when everyone fails . But that didn't happen till now. And he throw away wickets by unnecessary shots. He need to work on his Technical and also in wicket keeping skills.. Wriddhiman Saha is the other option for India.

Most debating position in the team is that of Ravindra Jadeja. Why not Ashwin.?

In the 3test Indian camp answered all of them were pitches for fast bowler's. So instead of Ashwin .. for batting purpose they are choosing Jadeja. If there is a chance for 2 spinners then definitely Ashwin.

Is that justifiable?? Okay Ashwin is not a punch hitter, but is that we needed in test cricket. Jadeja didn't have any test centuries but Ashwin have. ! He holds on ..he survives more than any bowler's.anyway thats proven it is one of wrong decisions from Kohli. Anyway some reports are out

Jadeja is injured and R Ashwin will come in the place of Jadeja.

Another important update in the bowling department is Karanataka Pacer Prasidh Krishna is added to the squad for 4th test. May be he will get a chance instead of Ishant Sharma.

Possible changes in Indian team

Ashwin instead of Jadeja
Hanuma Vihari instead of Rahane
Prasidh Krishna into bowling department
Kohli may take a leave

England tean annouced the squad for the test match few days back. They have not much tension about the squad.

Moeen Ali is named as the vice captain.

Possible changes in England tean

Chris woaks comes back after the injury
Jose Buttler is not included because of his wife's pregnancy

Sam billings may come to Buttler's position

Sam Curran may have to let out inorder to include Woaks
James Anderson may take a leave inorder to come back in last test

Both the batting and bowling departments are in a great form.

James Anderson, Robinson, Overton and sam curran was in a peak form. Indians sturggled to face them.

Captain Joe root is the strength of the English batting order.

He is unbeaten in the last ICC test rankings. He holds the number one position.

Everyone in the squad is a potential batsman, that one advantage of them.

We have to notice that This is not Englands best test team.!! Yes that true. Simply i will mention some names who is not in this series.

Stuart Broad, Ben stokes, Jofra Archer.

They were the key players.. ben stokes the best all rounder , can you imagine how deadliest will be bowling department if they are also present.

ICC test rankings

Joe Root holds the first position

While Rohith Sharma come to 5th position and Kohli 6th position.

It is Rohith Sharma's best ranking in test.

Now he safeguard his position in all three format's.

James Anderson remains in the 6 th position in the bowling rankings.Stuart board holds the 10th position but he is not in the squad.

R Ashwin is still on 2nd position!!!!!

Yes thats true. The player who is side benched for the last 3 test matches is the

Worlds second best bowler in Ranking.!
