IND vs ENG 5th Test: 'Gautam Gambhir should get his bowlers and show ... ' - Ravi Shastri on how India can take advantage of conditions at The Oval
Ravi Shastri has pointed out what India can use to their advantage to win the series (Photo by) With Day 4 of the fifth Test underway at The Oval, India are pressing hard for a series-levelling victory against England. As the tension builds, former India head coach Ravi Shastri offered sharp insight into how Indian bowlers can exploit the pitch to maximum effect. Speaking to former Australia international Mel Jones ahead of the day's play, Shastri pointed out the key areas Indian bowlers should target. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I think Gautam Gambhir should just get his bowlers here, just show them these dents. X marks as well. Marks there, and just say: focus on that area. You know that's where you've got to be 80% of the time. The pitch will do the rest," said Shastri while inspecting the surface on Sky Sports Cricket. India need EIGHT wickets, England 324 runs: Who will come out on top at The Oval? Unlike the flat tracks seen earlier in the series, this one has a generous covering of grass. Shastri emphasised the difference in playing conditions, saying, "As opposed to Leeds, this has a lot more grass on the surface, so things will happen a lot quicker. England chased down the score at Leeds. If they come even closer, I think they've done twice the job of what they did in Leeds, because this is not easy." He underlined the difficulty of the task England face in chasing down a steep target, while maintaining it's not beyond reach. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo "It will require—they'll have to bat out of their skins to pull off something special here. This will be twice the effort of what they put in. Not impossible. Not impossible. The first session becomes crucial, where they don't lose more than a wicket." England started steadily before Mohammad Siraj struck late in the morning session with a searing yorker that removed Zak Crawley right at the 50-run mark. With more than 300 still to get, India remain in the driver's seat. Mel Jones, who accompanied Shastri during the pitch inspection, also noted the surface's unpredictable nature. Poll Will India's bowlers successfully exploit the pitch conditions at The Oval? Yes, they have the skills No, the conditions are too challenging "We've been having a look at this pitch. It's definitely dented. Is that what's causing that extra bounce, do you think? Hugely so... What we've seen though is when it has hit those dents, it's kicked," she observed. With the surface deteriorating and pressure mounting, Shastri's tactical pointers may prove pivotal in India's final push.

IND vs ENG 5th Test: 'They'll have to bat out of their skins' – Ravi Shastri warns England ahead of record chase
Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope of England (Photo by) Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has suggested that spin bowling could play a crucial role for India on day four of the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at The Oval, as England chase 374 runs for victory. With England at 50/1 and needing 324 more runs to secure a 3-1 series win, India must take the remaining wickets to level the series at 2-2. The day's play will resume after Zak Crawley was bowled by Mohammed Siraj on the final ball of day three. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "India will have to do what they did in England's first innings and bowl a lot of pace consistently - but I do think spin will play a part. Will it be a big part? It could be forced to if the fast bowlers don't strike early on but ideally the pacers should take 60-70 per cent of the wickets," Karthik said during Sky Sports' broadcast. India need EIGHT wickets, England 324 runs: Who will come out on top at The Oval? "Seamers Deep and Siraj will have a big role to play. Deep gets the ball to seam away and looks like a guy that can get wickets - if he gets his length right and hits that eight-metre mark," Karthik added. England has previously succeeded in major Test chases, including a 378-run chase against India at Edgbaston in 2022 and a 371-run pursuit in the series opener at Headingley. Poll Do you believe England can successfully chase down 374 runs? Absolutely, they can do it Unlikely, it's too challenging "The surface has a lot of grass on it so things will happen quicker so if England get even close here I think they will have done twice the job they did at Headingley. They will have to bat out of their skins," former India head coach Ravi Shastri noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 BHKs starts at ₹ 72.6 Lakh | No Floor rise | Zero PLC Mahindra Happinest Tathawade Get Quote Undo If successful, this would be England's second-highest Test run chase and a record at The Oval. "I remember the run chase in Leeds at the start of the series and thought England could do it. There is just something about this team. The bigger the challenge, the more they puff their chests out and entertain," former Australia women's cricketer Mel Jones commented. "Duckett has lost his opening partner, Crawley, who he feeds off but England have four Surrey guys in Pope, Smith, Overton and Atkinson. But do England have the mental capacity to do it again after such a long series? They may just be a fraction slower in reaction time," Jones added.

IND vs ENG Test: 'After the birth of his child...' - Former India coach reveals KL Rahul's preparation plan ahead of England tour
London: India's batter KL Rahul leaves a delivery during the first day of the fifth Test cricket match between India and England, at The Oval, in London, England. (PTI Photo/R Senthilkumar)(PTI07_31_2025_000196A) Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar praised KL Rahul's dedication and performance in the recently concluded five-Test series against England, where the batsman scored 532 runs at an average of 53.20, including two centuries and two half-centuries while forming a strong opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Nayar, who worked closely with Rahul during his tenure as India's assistant coach, acknowledged the effectiveness of the changes in Rahul's approach but preferred to keep them private. "I can't talk about the changes that I've seen in KL Rahul. I can't, because then it's out there and the effectiveness goes down a lot," Nayar, who currently heads the Women's Premier League team UP Warriorz, told PTI. "All I can say is that, whatever the changes are, they have really worked. Sometimes -- and I always say in a cricketer's journey and in a team's journey -- things need to click. You need a bit of the rub of the green. I think he's had that as well." Yashasvi Jaiswal press conference: Message from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli help, support from Gambhir Nayar revealed that Rahul began his preparation for the England tour immediately after his last IPL match, despite having recently become a father.

"He started preparing for the England Test series while a lot of people wouldn't have done that. He knew the importance of this series, he understood it." Poll What do you think contributed most to KL Rahul's success in the recent Test series against England? Hard work and dedication Changes in his batting approach Support from teammates Conditions of the pitch "And every minute post the last game that he played in the IPL, was about how he can do well in this Test series, so it's great to see him do well there and get the recognition that he rightly deserves being the guy who's done all the dirty jobs and still managed to perform at every every number in that batting order." Nayar expressed confidence in Indian cricket's future and hoped for a positive outcome in the fifth Test. "All in all, Indian cricket is in good hands and hopefully we wrap it up today and everything's good," he stated. The former assistant coach also commended the Indian team's character during the tour. "A lot of the changes that you've seen in our players getting runs is also somewhere the conditions which have played a part, but also the fact that the hunger that our players have had to go out there and actually prove a point, is on show," Nayar observed. "The determination in the last game, the fight they showed, it just tells you that the mentality that our players carry and, the feeling that they have for Test cricket," he concluded.
