There is an eight-day gap between the two Tests. It remains to be seen whether the fifth Test is still relevant after the fourth Test, but the relevance of the fourth Test is considerable," India suffered a heartbreaking loss by 23 runs in the 3rd Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London. They have now gone behind in the serie sby a margin of 1-2. The next match is from July 23 (Thursday) at Old Trafford in Manchester. This match is extremely crucial for India, as they must win this in order to have any chance of winning the series. A loss would mean they would lose the series with a match to go. Both Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja have been some of the best players for India in this series. However, former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta has named Jasprit Bumrah as someone who might be crucial in the 4th Test.
In an interaction with Star Sports, Deep Dasgupta said that Bumrah needs to play the 4th Test, even though the plan for him was to play the first, third and fifth Tests due to workload management issues. However, in order to win the must-win game, he wants the 'world's best bowler' to play, given there is an 8-day gap between the third and fourth Tests.
"Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth Test, absolutely yes. I've heard rumors that the plan for him was to play in the first, third and fifth Tests. But now, when India are 1-2 behind, the fourth Test becomes very, very crucial. You would definitely want the world's best bowler to play," he said.
"There is an eight-day gap between the two Tests. It remains to be seen whether the fifth Test is still relevant after the fourth Test, but the relevance of the fourth Test is considerable," Dasgupta added.
