Jasprit Bumrah IN or OUT? Shubman Gill gives crucial update on star pacer ahead of 5th Test
Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah (AFP Photo) in LONDON: Will India's premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah feature in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval on Thursday? That was one of the first questions posed to Indian skipper Shubman Gill during the pre-match press conference ahead of the series finale. The fourth Test in Manchester ended in a draw, with England continuing to lead the five-match series 2-1. "We will take a decision tomorrow," Gill told reporters when asked about Bumrah's availability. "Wicket looks very green. So let's see," the Indian Test captain added. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Bumrah has been a key figure in the series, picking up 14 wickets in three matches. However, the World No. 1 Test bowler looked out of sorts during the fourth Test at Old Trafford, where he struggled to find rhythm and pace, and failed to deliver crucial breakthroughs. He bowled 33 overs in the first innings in Manchester — the most he has bowled in a single innings — but returned with figures of 2 for 103, marking the first time he has conceded over 100 runs in a Test innings. Statistics also show a sharp dip in his pace throughout the series. The percentage of deliveries clocking over 140 kph dropped from 42.7% at Headingley, to 22.3% at Lord's, and further down to just 0.5% at Old Trafford. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Despite this, Bumrah remains the joint-highest wicket-taker for India in the series alongside Mohammed Siraj, both with 14 wickets.

'Gruelling series, uneven gaps': Ben Stokes slams scheduling after injury rules him out of Oval decider
Ben Stokes (Pic credit: Sahil Malhotra/ in London: England captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the fifth and final Test against India at The Oval due to a right shoulder injury, but his absence didn't stop him from making a strong statement about the demanding schedule of the series. England, leading 2-1, announced four changes to their XI for the finale starting Thursday, but the focus of the pre-match discussion was Stokes' blunt criticism of the match planning and its toll on both teams. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'Disappointed to not finish the series. I have a decent tear in the muscle I can't pronounce,' Stokes said in the press conference. 'Will start rehabbing now for the winter. I was going to put my feet up anyway after the series, so it doesn't matter.' Gautam Gambhir pitch controversy | England Inspect Oval Pitch Freely, While India Were Kept away While admitting the physical demands are part of the game, Stokes didn't hold back on the scheduling imbalance. 'The gaps between games could have been better. There were gaps of 8-9 days between matches and then 3-4 days as well. You could make it a 4-5 days gap between matches maybe, so there's that consistency,' he said. 'It's been tough for both teams — a lot of overs bowled, a lot of time spent on the field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Indians don't know about this!

Addressing the handshake controversy in Manchester, Stokes said: 'I understand why Jadeja and Sundar wanted to get their 100s but I was not going to bowl my bowlers. We are over it, India are over it. Let's not focus on those 20 minutes, it has been a great series.' On the series as a whole, he reflected: 'It's been a big toll on the body. Physically it's tiring but the mental side too. Tough, gruelling series but a test of character and physicality. The way both teams have fought shows how much the format means for India and England.'
