With the series already secured, the Indian cricket team aims to conclude the five-match series against England on a dominant note as they prepare for the fifth and final Test, commencing on March 7 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. India is anticipated to make several changes to their Playing XI for the final Test. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to return to the Indian Playing XI after a well-deserved rest in the Ranchi Test. However, it remains uncertain whether Bumrah will replace one of his fellow pacers or if India will opt for a two-spinner, three-pace attack strategy. If India opts for two spinners, Kuldeep Yadav may be dropped, but the decision hinges on the expected behavior of the Dharamsala pitch.
In the batting department, Rajat Patidar is likely to receive another opportunity after missing several chances in previous matches. Additionally, it wouldn’t be surprising if the management decides to grant a debut to Karnataka batsman Devdutt Padikkal.
