India's test team captain, Shubman Gill, has left cricket enthusiasts guessing after he kept pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah's participation in the fifth test against England hanging in the balance. Gill revealed that the decision would be made closer to the match day, taking into consideration the pitch conditions at the Oval.
Bumrah, the joint-leading wicket-taker in the series with 14 dismissals, was anticipated to sit out the final clash to manage his workload. India requires a win in this final test to level the series 2-2, heightening the stakes significantly for the team.
The build-up to the series finale caught extra attention due to a spat between Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and the Oval ground staff, following Gambhir's attempt to inspect the pitch closely. Gill deemed the altercation unnecessary, emphasizing that a coach has the right to assess a wicket.
