Team India will aim to take an unassailable lead in the five-match series when they square off against England for the fourth Test. The high-voltage clash will take place at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi from February 23. Despite a dismal show in the opening game, India came roaring back in the second and third Test to establish a 2-1 lead in the home series. The hosts will look to continue the winning momentum in the next game, where they will miss the services of Jasprit Bumrah.
The pacer deserves much credit for India’s dominant performances in the previous two games. The BCCI has rested Bumrah for the fourth Test to manage his workload. Apart from him, KL Rahul is also set to miss the fourth Test. The right-handed batter was absent from the third Test as well due to injury issues. Eyes will be on opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has already registered two double-centuries in this series. One of them came in the last match where India notched a dominant 434-run win.
