Main point:
His name was not considered in the last Test match being played at The Oval of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and he once again missed his debut.
Delhi: The Indian cricket team has been on a tour of England for the last one and a half months. Where, a 5 -match high -profile Test series is being played against hosts England. The series is now at its last stop. The fifth and last Test match between India and England began at The Oval on Thursday.
Arshdeep Singh could not get a chance in The Oval,
Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, Team India arrived with a team of 18 players on this England tour, out of which the team management has made many changes in this series so far. In which, from batting to bowling also saw different changes. However, the team’s young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was completely empty -handed. Where, he did not get a chance in the last Test match of the series being played at The Oval.
Should Arshdeep Singh have got a chance in the fifth Test against England,
Punjab’s 26 -year -old left arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was given a chance in the squad in this series on a tour of England. After which it was believed that he would manage to debut here. However, his name was not considered in the last Test match being played at The Oval of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and he missed his debut once again. So a big question in such a situation is whether Arshdeep Singh should have been given a chance in the fifth Test match being played at The Oval?
Arshdeep Singh, who has become the most successful bowler in T20 format for the Indian team, received his consistent performance in the England series. He was included in the Test Squad. He could not become a chance for him in the first 3 Tests of this series. After this, he had to stay out in the fourth Test match played in Manchester. In such a situation, it seemed that in the last Test, Jaspreet Bumrah would get a chance for him. However, this could not happen.
The Oval’s green top pitch could be included
Arshdeep Singh must have got a chance at The Oval. Because England had already given a sign of this. The English team gave a chance to 4 major fast bowlers in their playing-11 for the fifth Test match. From this it was decided that the pitch here is going to be helpful for the fast bowlers. In such a situation, it would be better if the left armor like Arshdeep Singh was given a chance.
Gautam Gambhir and Team Management once again strengthened the batting here as well. However, he did not think of fixing the bowling unit. In this match, Mohammad Siraj is leading the bowling unit, while the famous Krishna and Akashdeep have returned with him. In place of Bumrah, the famous Krishna has returned to the team in place of Anshul Kamboj. However, after excluding Shardul Thakur, the team management gave batsman Karun Nair a chance.
One thing could be thought of here that if you have two best all -rounders like Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who deepen in batting along with spin bowling, then 4 fast bowlers could have landed. The green top is clearly seen on The Oval’s pitch. In such a situation, feeding Arshdeep Singh could have been a good decision.
Krishna, Shardul and Kamboj have disappointed on England tour
Not only this, a big reason for feeding this Punjabi Munde was also that the Indian team has been disappointed by the fourth fast bowler in this series so far. The famous Krishna got a chance in the first two Tests but, he bowled very poorly. Krishna kept looting runs from Economy of 5.33 and could take only 6 wickets. Apart from this, Shardul Thakur got to play the fourth match after the first Test but, he could not do anything special and could take only 2 wickets at a very bad average of 72.00. Talking about the third bowler, he was the young fast bowler Anshul Kamboj. This bowler got a chance to debut in the fourth Test of Manchest but he too could not leave any special impression and take only 1 wicket.
In such a situation, in the fifth Test match, it could have been better to give Arshdeep Singh a chance to replace the famous Krishna. Or you could not choose this bowler with Karun Nair. Talking about Arshdeep Singh, he has played 21 matches in first class cricket so far, taking 66 wickets at an average of 30.37. In which he has also done five wicket hall in the innings 2 times.
