India’s Jasprit Bumrah (ANI Photo) India suffered a major setback ahead of the ODI series decider against England at Lord’s, with pace boss Jasprit Bumrah ruled out with a knee injury. Captain Shubman Gill confirmed the news at the toss after England won and elected to bat first.“We would have bowled. Boom missed out with a knee injury. KL, Prince and Arshdeep came in. We wanted to play with four seamers. We were in a great position and lost too many wickets,” Gill said during the toss. While Bumrah’s absence is a major blow for the visitors, KL Rahul, who missed the last ODI due to illness, returns to the playing eleven. India also brought back Prince Yadav and Arshdeep Singh, opting for a four-man attack in a winner-takes-all contest.England make one change, with Josh Tongue replacing Saqib Mahmood. After opting to bat first, captain Harry Brook said Joe Root’s match-winning knock in the previous ODI provided the ideal blueprint for his side.”Today we will have a bat. It looks like a good surface. Language returns for Saqib Mahmood. The way Rooty has batted creates a great template. Hopefully we can assess the conditions quickly,” said Harry Brook during the throw.
