India vs England Live Score, 4. Test match 1st day: Team India will have to re -evaluate its strategy when it enters the fourth test against England in Old Trafford, with a number of line and several key players injured. The SHUBMAN GILL-2-2 party has not only the pressure level of drawing, but also has to break the immediate record in Manchester when he lost four and drew five of their nine matches at the venue.
The absence of Nitish Kumar Reddy forces India to re -evaluate their preferred tricycle due to knee injury. While Shardul Thakur could be a direct replacement, his inconsistency with Bat and Ball can push the team towards a more specialized line -up. This could bring Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair to playing XI, while Ravindra Jadeja could serve as a lonely spinner.
There are also concerns in the PACE department, with Akash deep due to the problem with the weakness. Unlimited Anshul Cartear, who impressed training and India, could make his debut together with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Sraji. Rishabh Pant is expected to be fit again while Kl Rahul and Jadeja remain vital.
England, confident in the triumph of her master, named Liam Dawson instead of injured Spinner Shaiba Bashir. With the expected rain predicted in Manchester conditions and six gentle seams, the match is likely to prefer faster pitch.
Since the test test starts high and every match, this test promises a high drama. As Harry Brook said, “It was an amazing series,” and the Old Trafford test could prove to be his defining chapter.
