Must win game for team India

England leads the 5-match Test series 2-1; India must win the 5th Test to level the series 2-2. Let's see 4 changes for the final test...

1. Rishabh Pant is ruled out

Pant suffered a serious leg injury in the 4th Test and will miss the final match.

Dhruv Jurel is likely to replace Pant as the wicketkeeper; also N Jagadeesan was added to the squad as backup.

2. Jasprit Bumrah 'RESTED' – Arshdeep Singh 'IN'

As per BCCI’s prior plan and medical advice, Bumrah will not play the 5th Test. Arshdeep Singh is likely to take his place in the playing XI.

Akash Deep, who missed the last match due to injury, is expected to return and strengthen India’s pace attack in Bumrah's absence.

4. Kuldeep Yadav likely 'IN'

Kuldeep Yadav, who hasn't featured in the series yet, may finally be included in the playing XI.

Three-spinners strategy

India may field 3 spinners – Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Kuldeep Yadav – for the Oval pitch.
