India are all set to take on England in the final Test of the five-match series at the famous Oval Cricket Ground in Manchester from July 31. This is a must-win game for India as they are trailing by a margin of 1-2. This means that if India draw or lose the final match, they would lose the series.
India will be without significant names in their playing XI in this crucial Test. However, England too have made wholesale changes to their team, including captain Ben Stokes.
India will be without Rishabh Pant who suffered a toe fracture in the fourth Test of the series. Dhruv Jurel will likely replace him as the wicketkeeper. Jasprit Bumrah also might not play this match, as before he series he had declared that he would play only three out of the five Tests owing to workload issues. England have also made four changes to their playing XI, including captain Ben Stokes, who is out due to an injury.
