Good news for India! Will Bumrah play and lead India to victory? - Best11.in

After the first three matches of the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, the visitors are trailing 2-1. India faced defeats at Leeds and Lord's but secured a brilliant victory at Edgbaston. At Lord's, the visitors collapsed to defeat after being in a winning position. The crucial fourth match of the series is scheduled from July 23 to 27 at Old Trafford in Manchester. A victory in Manchester is essential for India to keep the series alive. Fans are eagerly watching to see if superstar Jasprit Bumrah will play in this match.

It was previously clarified that Bumrah would play in only three of the five matches in the series as part of managing his workload. He played in the first match but, despite a heavy defeat at Leeds, was rested for the Edgbaston Test, where India still managed to win the second Test in his absence. However, India lost the third match upon Bumrah's return, falling behind in the series once again.

With a win in Manchester being critical, assistant coach Ryan Doshett has indicated that the team plans to field Bumrah in the fourth match. His words were: "We will make that decision in Manchester. We know he will play in only one of the last two matches. We also know we need to keep the series alive in Manchester. For this reason, we are planning to play him in the fourth match. However, we need to review all possible factors," Doshett said.
