Doda Ganesh made 3 changes in India’s playing 11
Anshul Kamboj got a chance to debut in Manchester but his bowling remained under question. Kamboj got only one wicket in the match. Apart from this, his slow pace was also a topic of discussion. Kamboj got a chance in place of Akashdeep, who was seen struggling with fitness during the Lord’s Test and then had to be ruled out of the next match.
At the same time, Shardul Thakur was included in place of Nitish Reddy. He scored 41 runs in batting but conceded 55 runs in bowling without taking a wicket. In such a situation, Doda Ganesh has chosen Kuldeep Yadav in his place, who is still waiting to play the first match in the series.
Indian team playing 11 selected by Dodda Ganesh for Oval Test: KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill (captain), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep
