Sai Sudarshan hit his first half -century (61), after which he was dismissed by Ben Stokes. By the end of the day’s play, the Indian team has scored 264 runs losing 4 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja (19) and Shardul Thakur (19) will carry forward the innings on the second day.

The fourth Test between India and England will be played at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground from Wednesday. Ben Stokes, who came to the press conference on Tuesday, said that the players of the Indian players will not back down. He indicated that the war could also be seen in this match, although he said that he would not want to start it. Shubman Gill and the fourth Test for the team is ‘do or die’. Earlier, in the third Test, the debate of players like Gill, Harry Brook, Ben Docket, Mohammad Siraj etc. were seen.

Big statement of Ben Stokes

Stokes said, “According to me, this (debate) is not included in the things we will start on the ground. I do not think the players of England and India are thinking of doing so. Rather, there is a time in Test cricket when the match is at a thrilling turn and the atmosphere gets hot. This big series has a lot of pressure to do well on both teams.

He added, “As I said, this is not the thing that we will try to start. This will make our attention shifted from the things that really need to be done on the field. But we will not be left behind. But we will not let any opposition team try to be aggressive towards us. I think most of the teams do not do the same, so we do not have the only team to do so. But this series has been a fantastic. Has been high. “

We put full strength on the Indian team

In the third Test played at Lord’s, Harry Brook had reacted sharply when he was staying repeatedly to spoil the time in the final over. The next day too, there was a war of words between the players of both the teams. Stokes said, “It is natural that that night when Jack and Ben Docket had to go down to bat, after which these things started. We got the benefit of bowling in the last in that test, which we won. We won not only our skills but also with energy.

Preparations for the fourth match are now going on in the five -Test series between India and England, which will be played in Manchester from Wednesday. India is behind 1-2 in the series and the team may have to make some important changes to win this match. A big question is that who will get a chance in the playing XI in place of Andhra Pradesh all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Nitish Reddy has scored 45 runs in two Tests so far and has taken three wickets. However, he showed a little glow in the Lord’s Test, but he may have to sit out due to lack of constant impressive performance. Three names are leading to take their place:

1. Shardul Thakur Will be replacement

Shardul Thakur is an experienced all -rounder and is considered to be the best suitable for replacing Nitish Reddy. However, he did not make any special contribution with the bat in the Headingley Test and in bowling, he did not have much over. Nevertheless, they are strong contenders in terms of experience and utility.

2. Anshul Kamboj – Young enthusiasm and all -round capacity

Haryana fast bowler Anshul Kamboj was recently called as the team cover. He has done well in domestic cricket and also scored a half -century against England Lions, playing for India ‘A’. If India wants to give a chance to the young player, then Kamboj can be made debut.

3. Strategy of Dhruv Jurael and Anshul Kamboj

Another option may be to include Dhruv Jurlel in the playing XI to strengthen the team batting and give Anshul Kamboj a chance instead of Akash Deep in the bowling department. This will make India’s bowling attack look something like this: Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Anshul Kamboj (Debut), Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar.

Hurt worries increased trouble

Team India is already struggling with the injuries of many players. Rishabh Pant, Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh are not available for selection due to fitness problems. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma and team management will have to be careful in choosing the playing XI.

It remains to be seen in which direction the coach Gautam Gambhir and the captain go – give a chance to experienced Shardul or young Kamboj, or enter the field with a balanced combination.

24 -year -old Anshul Kamboj has been included in the Indian squad before the fourth Test against England in Manchester. He got a place in the team after Arshdeep Singh’s injury. Anshul played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, he created history in the Ranji Trophy last year. He is a good bowler but the important thing is that he can also bat well.

Anshul Kamboj was born on 6 December 2000 in Karnal district of Haryana. He is a right arm medium fast bowler. He is a bowling all -rounder and can also bat well. Since 2021, he has been playing for Haryana in domestic cricket.

Anshul was in England last month, where he played 2 first class matches against England Lions while playing for India-A. He took 1 wicket in the first match and scored 23 runs. In the second match, he took 4 (2+2) wickets in both innings and also scored a half -century.

First class record

• Match: 24
• Wickets: 79
• Run: 486
• 10 wickets- 1 times
• 5 wicket hall- 2 times
• 4 wicket hall- 2 times

Made debut in Ranji Trophy in 2022

Anshul Kamboj made his debut in Ranji on February 2022, playing against Tripura for Haryana. He took 7 wickets in 7 matches in the 2022-23 Saeed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the 2023-24 Vijay Hazare Trophy, he took 17 wickets in 10 matches. On the basis of these performances, he was bought by Mumbai Indians in the IPL. In the 2024-25 Dalip Trophy, he took 16 wickets in 3 matches, he played for ‘India C’.

Anshul Kamboj created history in Ranji Trophy

Anshul put a historic spell during the Ranji Trophy in November 2024. He took 10 wickets in an innings against Kerala. He became the third bowler in history to do so. In this match played in Rohtak, he took 10 wickets for 49 runs in 30.1 overs spell.

Anshul Kamboj’s IPL record

Anshul started the IPL career in 2024 for Mumbai Indians. This season he played 3 matches, taking 2 wickets. In 2025, he got a chance to play under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, this season he played 8 matches and took 10 wickets.

Now Anshul has made a place in the Indian team, he was included in Team India’s Test Squad after Arshdeep Singh was injured. The fourth Test will be played in Manchester from 23 July. This is a ‘do or die’ match for India. Team India, launched 1-2, has to win this test under any circumstances.

A 5-match Test series is being played between India and England, there have been 3 matches and Team India is lagging behind 1-2. Head coach Gautam Gambhir had confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah will play only 3 Tests in this series. He has played 2 of these. That is, now he will play only 1 of the remaining 2 matches, it is believed that Bumrah can be rested in the fourth test to be held in Manchester (Old Trafford Cricket Stadium). Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar has given a big statement about this.

What did Dilip Vengsarkar say about Jaspreet Bumrah’s workload management?

In an interview to Revspports, Vengsarkar said, “It is most important to play for Team India, if you are not fit then do not play at all. After the Leeds Test they got 7-8 days comfort, despite this he was not included in the playing 11 of the second Test which is not right. May Gautam Gambhir and Ajit agar are right for Ajit. They are the best bowlers and they can win the match. If you go on a tour, you must play every match and no question should be raised. “

Dilip Vengsarkar has captained India in 10 Tests and 18 ODIs. Talking about Bumrah, he was only effective in the first Test, despite this he did not play in the second Test. Although Akashdeep took 10 wickets in the second Test, Mohammad Siraj also bowled brilliantly and India won this match. Bumrah returned in the third Test, after losing this Test, Team India fell 1-2 in the series.

Deepti was elected the best player of the match, after winning the award, she revealed which shot she learned from Rishabh Pant.

Although this shot Rishabh Pant did not teach him, but Deepti picked it up by watching Pant playing this shot. After the match, she said, “I was looking for such occasions, I wanted to form a partnership with Jemima and were looking at 5-6 runs in every over.

This shot learned by looking at Pant!

Deepti Sharma further said, “I did a lot of work on sweep shots in the beginning, and it helps a lot on such a pitch. I practiced a lot of sixes with a hand, I picked up this shot with Rishabh Pant. We have played first in England and we enjoy the condition here.”

A magnificent knock. A Crucial Spell. A mind-boggling one-handed Six

After the defeat in Lord’s, the wrong decisions of umpire Paul Rifle are being criticized. Former Indian cricketer R Ashwin also questioned the umpire and said that whenever he meets him, he will definitely ask about it. In the India vs England Third Test, Joe Root got a life due to the umpire’s decision.

On the fourth day of the third Test played at Lord’s, Mohammad Siraj appealed against the route against the route, but the umpire Paul Rifle gave him a not out. When the review was taken, it was found that the ball was hitting the stump, but the batsmen were given not out due to the umpires call. Earlier, he had caught Shubman Gill out of the wicket off Bridan Cars, but Gill survived after taking the review as he was not out.

Ashwin’s anger exploded on the umpire

R Ashwin expressed displeasure over the decisions of the umpire. He said on his YouTube channel, “I want to talk to him. I am not saying that I should ask him to give him out, but whenever Team India bowls, he always feels that the batsman is not out. When India bats, he feels that he is out. If this is happening with Team India, the ICC also needs to pay attention to umpiring.”

Whenever he umpiring, India loses

Ashwin told that his father was also watching the match with him. Ashwin said, “My father, watching the match with me, was saying that ‘Paul is in the ground, we will not win.’ Whenever he umpiring, the decisions go against India.

The Indian cricket team lost a close match at Lord’s, chasing the target of 193 runs, Ravindra Jadeja struggled till the end but could not reach the victory.
