IND vs ENG: Team India has now taken the lead in the Test series being played between India and England. After 3 matches, India has won 2 matches and England has won one match. Now it is the turn of the fourth match, which will be played in Ranchi from 23rd February. In this match, some changes can be seen in the playing eleven of Team India. Especially the news that is coming out till now. It has been revealed that KL Rahul may return in the fourth match. Whereas Jasprit Bumrah can be rested. Now the question is who will be released due to Rahul's return and who will come in the team in place of Jasprit Bumrah.

KL Rahul may return in Ranchi Test

KL Rahul played only the first match against England and he got injured in it. Although in the first innings of that match, Rahul played an excellent inning of 86 runs in difficult times, while if we talk about the second innings, there were 22 runs from his bat. After this he was out of the second test. When BCCI again announced Team India before the third match, it was revealed that Rahul has been included in the team, but this condition was kept that he will play only when he is completely fit. He was out again before the match even started. When KL Rahul was out, Devdutt Padikkal was included in the team. However, Devdutt could not play the third match because he was not given a chance in the playing eleven.

The blame may fall on Rajat Patidar

Meanwhile, KL Rahul has got rest for a few more days. There is also a difference of a few days between the third and fourth matches. In such a situation, there is a possibility that he may make a comeback in the match to be held in Ranchi. Meanwhile, Sarfaraz Khan got a chance, he scored half-centuries in both the innings. It is believed that Rajat Patidar may have to be out if KL Rahul returns. He has played two matches of the series, but could not play a big innings even once. He scored 32 and 9 runs in his debut. After this, 5 more zero runs came from his bat in the Rajkot Test. That means he could not score even a single half-century. In such a situation, it should not be surprising if he is made to sit outside. However, before that we should wait for the announcement from BCCI whether KL Rahul is completely fit for the fourth match.

Jasprit Bumrah can also be given rest

News is also coming that Jasprit Bumrah may be rested in the fourth test. He has been playing 3 consecutive matches and taking wickets. With Bumrah out, Mohammed will definitely play Siraj, but who will be the other fast bowler. It is believed that this could be Mukesh Kumar. If the Indian team management decides to play two pacers, then Siraj and Mukesh may get a chance, whereas if only one pacer is given a chance, then it is possible that Akshar Patel may return once again and work as a pacer. But Siraj should play. However, there are still three days left for the fourth match, so the condition of the pitch will be decided only after that.
