Shubman Gill said this big thing

The Test captain of India said that we want to balance a team that can take 20 wickets. Along with this, Shubman Gill further told that Jasprit Bumrah is ready for the next match selection. Let me tell you that due to Bumrah’s fitness, it seemed that Bumrah would not play the second Test match to be held at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. But now it is clear from Gill’s statement that in the Test rankings, the number 1 bowler Jasprit Bumrah is fully fit to play the next match.

What will be India’s playing XI?

The Edgbaston Test cannot see any significant change in India’s playing eleven. If India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is ready to play the second Test, then Nitish Kumar Reddy may have to wait for his Test debut. Nitish was being given a chance in the absence of Bumrah. But now Bumrah is present for selection in the second Test. In such a situation, Bumrah can now play four matches instead of three out of five of this Test series.
