India's Final Bowling Dilemma Ahead of The Oval Test

As the five-match Test series in England approaches its conclusion, India is grappling with the challenge of finding the right bowling combination, especially after a taxing series.

Following a draw at Old Trafford, questions arise about their strategy to bat until number eight at the expense of a specialist bowler. Shardul Thakur was underutilized, bowling just 11 overs.

The pressure is mounting to include a fresh bowler like Kuldeep Yadav, left waiting on the sidelines. Meanwhile, players like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are showing signs of fatigue, while the management weighs the benefits of batting depth against bowling strength.
