Shubman Gill & Koul pode parar 5 índios na Índia no INDS vs Teste 5

India cricket team have an uphill task at hand in ending an unwanted steak in the IND vs ENG 5th Test at the Kennington Oval, London. With the series poised in England’s favour currently, the game marks the last chance for Shubman Gill and co. to level the series 2-2 and avoid yet another series defeat. However, India’s record in the fifth Test of a series hasn’t been great so far.

Can India break free of 5th Test curse in London?

India have played 16 fifth match games in away series so far but have failed to win even a single game. The Men in Blue have drawn on 6 occasions but what is more worrying is that they have lost 10 out of 16 times. The last time India played a 5th Test in an away series was in Sydney in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia earlier in January. Jasprit Bumrah-led side was handed a 6-wicket defeat as Australia won the series 3-1.

IND vs ENG 5th Test

A tour that started almost 50 days ago is finally at its business end. With England leading the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-1, it all boils down to the fifth and final Test match, scheduled to take place at the Kennington Oval, London. India enter the game with high spirits after they clawed a draw from the jaws of defeat in Manchester.

Hundreds from Gill, Jadeja and Sundar helped India play out a hard-fought draw in Manchester. Rahul’s 90 was equally important. However, now, the word is that India might miss the services of Jasprit Bumrah for the fifth Test, who is likely to prioritise his workload. In the meantime, Arshdeep Singh is likely to make his Test debut. Also, Rishabh Pant is ruled out of this clash after the freakish fracture he suffered in the previous game.
