Timesofindia.com in London: Did India’s head Pesar Jasprit Bumrah conducted the fifth and final test against England at the Oval on Thursday? It was one of the first questions presented to Indian captain Shubman Gill during the pre-match press conference before the conclusion of the series. The fourth test in Manchester ended in a draw, with England extending the five-match series 2–1.“We will take a decision tomorrow,” Gill told reporters when asked about Bumrah’s availability.“The wicket looks very green. So let’s see,” said the Indian test captain.The Bumrah has been an important person in the series, who took 14 wickets in three matches. However, World No. 1 Test bowler Old Trafford looked out in a type during the fourth test, where he struggled to find rhythm and speed, and failed to give important successes.He bowled 33 overs in the first innings in Manchester – most of them bowled in a single innings – but returned with 2 figures for 103, for the first time he has scored more than 100 runs in a Test innings.The statistics also shows a sharp dip in its speed throughout the series. The percentage of delivery of more than 140 kilometers per hour fell from 42.7% to 22.3% in Lord’s, and below 0.5% in Old Trafford.Despite this, with Bumrah Mohammad Siraj, both are the most wicket -taking wicket for India in the series with both 14 wickets.
