India Predicted XI vs England, 5th Test: Dilemma Over Fifth Bowler, Spin or Pace?

India take on England in the series deciding rescheduled 5th Test at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on Friday and it will be interesting to see what playing XI they go ahead with. Captain Rohit Sharma is out with Covid and Jasprit Bumrah has been handed the opportunity to lead the team for the first time. Rishabh Pant will be the deputy to Bumrah. The Indians find themselves in a stiff position due to another omission as regular opener KL Rahul is out with an injury. The team management needs to decide whether it wants to draft in Mayank Agarwal or open with either Hanuma Vihari or Cheteshwar Pujara and play Shreyas Iyer a chance in the middle order.
