In anticipation of the fifth and final test against England, India is ready to make a double blow, because Arshdep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav are both doubtful for the crucial match on the Oval Cricket Ground, Kennnington, from Thursday 31 July.
The Indian Cricket team drew a sensational draw in the fourth test in Manchester, which left the current of five games in balance, where the tourists still have the chance to deny England a victory at the oval. In particular, England currently leads 2-1 in the overto against India.

Surprisingly, Kuldeep Yadav did not play any match during the English tour, but the wrist spinner is still not sure in the last test because of fitness issues. Rev -Sportz claimed that Kuldeep Yadav is doubtful for the oval test against England due to fitness problems.
With Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav reportedly put offside, all eyes are now on Akash Deep, who probably gets a golden chance to prove itself again under the pressure on the English tour.
It is said that Akash Deep recovered from the groin injury he sustained during the Lord’s test, and he could very well perform in the playing XI for the last test.
Jasprit Bumrah will probably be equipped for the last test
On the other hand, there is no immediate concern about Jasprit Bumrah, but he could be equipped for the fifth test as part of his workload management, and it could harm India. This competition is too important to take opportunities, and the Indian team wants their ACE Pacer to be in charge.
With limited options, the Indian bowling attack can now rely on people like Mohammed Siraj, who has already played all four tests in England; Prasidh Krishna; Shardul Thakur; And the all-round spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in the oval.
Akashdeep ready.
Arshdep concern about webbing. Is there a concern? Yes.
Bumrah no from now on. Will not be good if he does not play in the name of workload management. Key game.
Kuldeep- Double.
Siraj, Akash, Prasidh, Shardul, Jaddu, Washi? @Boriaajumdar @Cricsubhayan

Can India rewrite history in the oval?
In the meantime, the Kennnington Oval Cricket Ground in London is one of the most iconic stadiums in England. Since 1936, India has played 32 games at this location, making it the most visited cricket field in England through the Indian Cricket team.
The journey of India in the oval started in 1936, but it took 35 years before they register their first victory here. That historical victory came on August 19, 1971. The most recent and memorable victory came under the Captainincy of Virat Kohli in the longest format of the game on 2 September 2021.
So far, India has played 15 test matches in The Oval. They only won 2, 7 signed and lost 6 against England. Despite the bad record, the young Indian cricket team, led by Shubman Gill, would like to give it all to draw the at all. India has not won in England since 2007.
