India vs England 2024
Virat Kohli reportedly set to join Team India squad for fifth Test against England
Jasprit Bumrah along with Virat Kohli won’t be available for the fourth Test against England
In Dharamshala for the last Test match against England, Virat Kohli may make a comeback to the team. Under the condition of anonymity, an Indian Cricket Board source informed the PTI that Kohli would return for the crucial match in Dharamshala.
The Indian Cricket Board had initially granted Kohli permission to skip the first two Test matches. Although it was anticipated that he would return for the third Test. However, there may be a ray of optimism that he returns for the last test. Since Virat Kohli is now free from his family duties, he may be coming back to join the Indian team.
The middle order has already shown its struggles during the initial two Test matches, with inexperienced players filling in.. It would be an enormous relief for the Indian team if Kohli is able to make it back for the final Test.
Virat Kohli had informed the Indian Cricket Board about his personal reasons for which he will miss the India-England Test series. Yesterday evening, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma announced the arrival of their new-born baby on social media.
The duo posted the announcement along with the caption, “With abundant happiness and our hearts all of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika’s little brother into this world. We seek your blessings and good wishes in this beautiful time in our lives. We request you to kindly respect our privacy at this time. Love & Gratitude. Virat & Anushka.”
Jasprit Bumrah rested for the fourth Test against England!
Ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been rested by the Indian Cricket Board for the fourth Test match against England. The purpose of the action is to control Bumrah’s workload after he played during the first three matches.
After three Test matches, Bumrah has taken 17 wickets with an average of 13.65, making him the best wicket-taker once again. Thus far in the series, he has proven to be an impossible task for Joe Root and England captain Ben Stokes.
