Former India cricketer Deep Dasgupta didn’t select wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel and pacer Prasidh Krishna as he shared his preferred Team India playing XI for the fourth Test against England. However, Team India will be forced to make at least two changes to their squad due to injuries.

Speaking in the latest YouTube video of his channel, ‘Deep Dasgupta’, he said, “Talking about that vacant bowling slot, I believe that Anshul brings in something different there. Anshul is a swing bowler, while Prasidh is a seam bowler. If you remove Bumrah, Siraj is the other pacer, and he is a seam bowler as well. In my opinion, Anshul brings something different to the table, and obviously, he has bowled well for India A. I won’t mind seeing Anshul Kamboj because he might not have express pace, he bowls between 135 to 140 kmph, but he can swing. If there are overcast conditions, which the forecast says, he will be quite a handful.”

Explaining why Sai Sudharsan should be backed over Karun Nair for the upcoming match, Deep Dasgupta said, “I prefer Sai over Karun. There are two Tests left. Even though Karun has scored and got out after getting set, sometimes I feel he does not look very comfortable at No. 3. So, I would still prefer Sai. There are two Tests, possibly four innings, why not give him a go? He is a youngster, and he will get some experience playing in England, which will help in the future.”

Deep Dasgupta’s preferred India XI:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair/Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington
Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Anshul Kamboj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
