With a 2-1 series lead, Team India will be looking to register a rare series win in England as they prepare to play the 5th and final Test vs the 3 Lions. A thumping win at the Oval has given Team India and Virat Kohli a lot of confidence but will that push the Indian captain to make a couple of changes to the Playing XI?
Ajinkya Rahane has been woefully out of form and his presence in the team is not helping the scoreboard. A veteran of many years, Rahane has seen various ups and downs in his career but this definitely has been one of the biggest lows as Virat Kohli is expected to replace the Mumbai cricketer for the final Test of the series.
The final Test in Manchester may also see a slightly dry wicket with assistance to the spinners. Ravindra Jadeja has made his presence felt as a batter in the series but is yet to spin India to a win. Will Ravichandran Ashwin who has warmed the bench for 4 Test matches finally get a chance to play a Test on the tour? The champion spinner has been India's strike bowler over the years and many are calling it an absolute travesty to keep Ashwin out of Playing XI.
Going by form, Virat Kohli is expected to make changes but the captain himself had earlier mentioned how he has found a template for the series and is likely to stick to his plans.
