Tough selection -Call is on Team India for Tempo -friendly Manchester -Inside Sport India

Team India would be worried to enter the fourth test of the series, they are finally ready to play in Manchester, the best place for fast bowlers in England. The visitors are already 2-1 in the series, and again, they also have selection head for this specific collision.

Forget Batting, it will be a difficult call to decide the Bowling -Line -up, whether they want to go with three pacers together with Nitish Kumar Reddy and two spinners, or four Pacers + NKR and a Spinner. That will be the big call to accept. And before they come to a conclusion, they will have to take certain factors into account.

Workload management of Jasprit Bumrah & Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj is a workhorse for Team India. In 3 games he picked up 13 wickets, and more importantly, bowling 109 overs. Jasprit Bumrah has bent 86. The latter only plays one match in the series, and Siraj can simply be exhausted. So if they both play in the next game. Perhaps yes, given the situation of the series … Shubman Gill needs his two best bowlers to stay alive in the series. So Bumrah and Siraj remain.

Arshdeep Singh in Fray

Maybe it’s time to record Arshdeep Singh. India usually hit the deck bowlers and the left -handed can add a little variation to the attack. His recording would also mean that he could come in when Bumrah and Siraj get tired. So he justifies an inclusion.

Difficult call between Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy

As has been the case with coach Gautam Gambhir, he likes to play with an extra batters/all -rounders. But since India wants to go with extra tempo options, the confusion prevails. If you intended Washi and NKR, India could go deep until no. 8, but that will not be possible if one of the two all -rounders must go out. If it were not at all to keep the balance, this would be NKR. But again, to get the pillow of the battery + bowler, both NKR and Washi must be preserved.

Ideal bowling-line-up for 4th test: Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdep Singh.
