As India gears up for the crucial fourth Test match, the team's lineup faces uncertainty due to key player injuries. Akash Deep, who has struggled with a groin injury since the Lord's Test, was not cleared by the team's physio, leaving his participation in doubt.

In his stead, uncapped players Anshul Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna have been bowling at full pace, potentially vying for a spot alongside stalwarts Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Kamboj, initially covering for the injured Arshdeep Singh, was added to the main squad, raising the prospect of a debut.

Rishabh Pant's return after hand discomfort offers some stability, as he completed batting and keeping drills without issue. Meanwhile, Karun Nair's position is under speculation, with Sai Sudharsan potentially stepping in, as the team navigates these lineup challenges.
