During the practice on Tuesday, when Shubman Gill passed in front of Sai Sudarshan at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, he asked that he would bat on the net. When the team is lagging behind 1-2 in the series, it is very important to win the next match and before that the captain should come and ask if you would like to bat on the nets? So usually the player will say yes, but Sai did not do so but refused for it.

Shubman Gill was not angry at all, in fact he knew that Sai Sudarshan would not bat on the nets a day before the match. During the IPL this year, he stopped batting on the net a day before the match. His captain was also Shubman Gill in the IPL, so Gill also knows this very well.

According to Cricbuzz report, Sai Sudarshan felt tired while batting for a long time on the ground during IPL 2024. The coaches of Gujarat Titans saw this and advised them to rest a day before the match.

Sai was positive for Sudarshan

In IPL 2025, he changed his practice. He batting on the net for hours, training, sweating for hours for hours, but resting a day before the match. He was also asked to stay in the hotel a day earlier but he refused to do so and he started going to the ground with the team. However, he used to do light jogging and stretching on that day. As a result, he also came to a positive, he became the highest run player in IPL 2025.

Will Sai Sudarshan play in the fourth Test?

Not just practicing just a day before the match, it cannot be assumed that their place has been confirmed in their playing 11. However, he inspected the pitch and practiced shadow on Tuesday. He went on the pitch two things and knocked the shadow. Once there were covers on the pitch and the second time when there was good sunlight. It is believed that they may return to playing 11.

Sai made her debut in the first Test played in Handingley, which was dismissed for zero in the first innings and scored only 30 runs in the second innings. Playing at number three, he flopped and then dropped. Karun Nair batted at number three in his place, he also disappointed.

Sai can return to number three instead of Karun Nair

However, this does not mean that Karun Nair will be out of playing 11 with the arrival of Sai. They can be given another chance but Sai may return to number three. Nair has scored a total of 131 runs in 6 innings played in this series. Not a single half -century innings has come from his bat.

The fourth Test is ‘do or die’ for Team India, Shubman Gill & Team needs victory. The Indian teams are upset due to their injured players, Nitish Kumar Reddy is out of the entire series. Arshdeep Singh will also not play the fourth Test. There was also news about Rishabh Pant that he can play as a batsman in the fourth Test, it is difficult to keep his wicket keeping. But a video has come, it is clear that a tension of Gill has gone away.

Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury on the first day of the third Test. After this he went out of the ground, Dhruv Jurlel took wicket -keeping throughout the Test. Although Rishabh Pant batted, he was not fully fit. After this, many reports said that Pant may be out of the fourth Test or just join the playing 11 as a batsman. But his new video has given some relief.

Will Rishabh Pant keep wickets in the fourth Test?

A video of Rishabh Pant has surfaced, which is of practice in Manchester. Pant is practicing wicket keeping. He took wicket -keeping for a long time, and did not feel that he was having any problem. The possibility is fulfilling that Rishabh Pant will keep wickets in the fourth Test.

Team India is backward from 1-2

The fourth test for India is like ‘do or die’. The first Test of the series was won by England and second by India. England took a 2–1 lead by winning the third Test. If the fourth Test wins England, then it will take an invincible lead in the series, while Team India would like to win this Test and equal the series 2-2. Even if this Test draw is done, the danger of series defeat on England will end. That is, even after winning the fifth Test, the England series will be able to end only on par.

The Indian team lags out 1-2 in the 5-match Test series against England. The fourth Test will be played in Manchester from July 23 in Manchester, which would like to win an unbeatable lead in the host series by winning. Shubman Gill & Team has suffered a big shock in this ‘do or die’ match, Arshdeep Singh has been out. Doubt remains on the playing of Akash Deep.

According to the report of Indian Express, BCCI sources have confirmed that Arshdeep Singh is not available for selection in the fourth Test. During the practice, he was hurt in his finger, after which stitches also came. It was believed that Arshdeep could make his debut in the fourth Test.

Arshdeep Singh out of fourth Test

BCCI sources said, “Arshdeep Singh has a deep cut on his hand, after which it will take at least 10 days to fit them completely, the selectors have decided to include Anshul Kamboj in the team.”

26 -year -old Arshdeep Singh was hurt in an attempt to stop a shot killed by Sai Sudarshan on the net, a deep cut in his finger. After this, he also got stitches. He has not played any Test yet, but it was expected that if Bumrah would not play the fourth Test, Arshdeep can be included in the playing 11.

Doubt on the sky lamp continues

Akash Deep Singh, who took 10 wickets in the second Test, is not yet confirmed to play in the fourth Test, there is also doubt on him. The report told that he is struggling with back pain. He did not participate in India’s practice session before leaving Manchester.

In such a situation, the role of Jaspreet Bumrah becomes very important. By the way, earlier there was news that he would play the first, third and fifth Tests. But now when the fourth test is ‘do or die’. In such a situation, it will have to be seen whether Bumrah will change the plan and play in the fourth Manchester?

Team India is backward from 1-2

Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India had performed brilliantly in the first Test, despite England won by 5 wickets. In the second Test, Team India returned and won the match by 336 runs. In the third Test, Ben Stokes & Team won a close match by 22 runs and took a 2–1 lead. Now if England wins the fourth Test, then it will take an unbeatable lead in the series, while even if the draw is done, India’s hopes of winning the series will end.

Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj has been included in the Indian squad for the remaining 2 Tests against England. Arshdeep Singh is out of the fourth Test due to a finger injury. The fourth Test will be played at Old Trafford from July 23, which is ‘do or die’ for Team India. So will Anshul Jaspreet play the fourth Test in place of Bumrah?

BCCI sources told Indian Express, “Arshdeep Singh has a deep cut on his hand, after which it will take at least 10 days to fit them completely, the selectors have decided to include Anshul Kamboj in the team.”

Will Anshul Kamboj play the fourth Test in place of Jaspreet Bumrah?

In the 5 -match Test series, Jasprit Bumrah will play only 3 Tests, out of which he has played and now one of 2 will play Test. Earlier it was decided that he would play the fifth Test, not the fourth Test, although it is a ‘do or die’ match, then Bumrah can also change his decision. But if he does not play in Manchester, then it is possible that Anshul Kamboj gets a chance to debut. Actually, the famous Krishna proved to be very expensive in the first 2 Tests, so his return looks a bit difficult.

Anshul Kamboj was in England last month, where he played 2 first class matches against England Lions in India A. In these matches, he took a total of 5 wickets and scored a total of 76 runs including 1 half -century innings (51).

Anshul Kamboj’s career

Anshul Kamboj has not made her debut for Team India in any format. He has taken 79 wickets in 41 innings in 24 first class matches. In this, he has also taken 10 wickets 1 time, while he has taken 5 wickets 2 times. He can also bat, he has scored 486 runs in 34 first class innings with 16.20 average.

Apart from this, Anshul Kamboj has taken 40 wickets in 25 List A matches and 34 wickets in 30 T20 matches. He played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025.

The fourth Test between India and England will be played in the Old Trafford Cricket Ground from July 23. Team India, a 1-2 backward in the series, will see many changes in their playing 11, but before that Shubman Gill has become a very difficult difficulty. Bowler Arshdeep Singh has been injured, who could play in Manchester instead of Jaspreet Bumrah.

The Indian cricket team practiced in Manchester on Thursday, during which bowler Arshdeep Singh was hurt. Arshadeep’s injury is a big blow because Jaspreet Bumrah can be rested in the fourth Test. Bumrah will now play only 1 Test in this series and this can be the fifth test. Team India’s Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Doeshe said that it is not clear whether Bumrah will play the fourth Test or not. Its decision will be taken only on the match day. It was believed that in the fourth Test, Bumrah is given a rest and Arshdeep Singh could get a chance. But now the team will have to change its plan.

What did the assistant coach say on Arshdeep Singh’s injury?

Ryan Ten Doeshe said, “Arshdeep Singh’s finger got cut in an attempt to stop the ball in practice. We will see how deep it is. The medical team is monitoring him. If they need to stitches, it will not be good from the team’s perspective.”

Famous Krishna may return to playing 11

Now Team India may have to return to their first plan. It was believed that Arshdeep Singh could get a chance to debut in the fourth Test, because Jaspreet Bumrah will not play in it due to workload manage. For this reason, he did not even play in the second Test, in which Akashdeep was replaced in his place.

Akashdeep took 10 wickets in the second Test, due to this, when Bumrah returned in the third Test, the famous Krishna was dropped. Now if you do not play the fourth Test Bumrah, then the famous Krishna can get a place back in Playing 11. Please tell that the famous Krishna proved to be very expensive in the first 2 Tests.
