England and India will go head-to-head in the final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar series, starting from Thursday at the Oval in London.
India’s resolute batting in the second innings at Manchester, which led to a draw, offered the Shubman Gill-led side an opportunity to level the five-match series, which England currently leads 2-1.
With England captain Ben Stokes and pace menace Jofra Archer ruled out of the series finale, India will fancy its chances against a depleted team.
Meanwhile, India will face a selection dilemma after Shardul Thakur proved to be ineffective with the ball in the last Test. It will be interesting to see if left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav is handed a match, or left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh a maiden Test cap. Moreover, with Gill indicating that Jasprit Bumrah is still in contention for a spot in the final Test, how India’s Playing XI eventually shapes up at the Oval will be intriguing.
