The toss luck doesn’t seem to favour Indian captain Shubman Gill in the ongoing Test series as England opted to bowl first at the Oval on Thursday in the fifth and final game. England are led by Ollie Pope after regular skipper Ben Stokes was ruled out on Wednesday due to a right shoulder injury. India have made four changes from the fourth Test.
With wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant out of the fifth Test due to a toe injury, Dhruv Jurel replaced him in the playing XI, while Karun Nair, Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep came in place of Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah and Anshul Kamboj. India are trailing 1-2 in the Test series.
