Who will get the chance to replace Bumrah in Ranchi? This will be India's playing-11 in the fourth test

The fourth match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played in Ranchi from tomorrow i.e. Friday, 23 February. In this match, the Indian team management has decided to rest Jasprit Bumrah considering the workload. Whereas KL Rahul is already out of the series due to not being completely fit. In such a situation, know how India's playing eleven could be in the fourth test.

Which number will play?

Talking about the playing eleven of the fourth test, captain Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are certain to play in the top three. There is doubt whether Rajat Patidar will play at number four or not. Rajat was part of the playing eleven in the second and third Test, but flopped in all four innings. In such a situation, Akshar Patel may get a chance in his place at number four. Along with batting, Akshar can also play the role of fourth spinner. After this, Sarfaraz Khan is certain to play at number five. Sarfaraz made his debut in the third test and impressed all the legends by scoring half-centuries in both the innings. Ravindra Jadeja is also scheduled to play at number six and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel at number seven.

Which bowlers will be part of the team?

Talking about bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah will not be a part of Team India in the Ranchi Test. In such a situation, it remains to be seen who gets the chance in his place. However, it is believed that Akash can replace Deep or Mukesh Kumar. However, there is also an option that Rajat Patidar should be given a second chance and Akshar Patel should return in place of Bumrah, but in such a situation the Indian team will play with only one fast bowler.

India's probable playing XI in the fourth test

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Axar Patel/Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep/Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj.
