India have changed their playing XI in all four Tests so far in the ongoing series. The trend of changes is expected to continue in the fifth and final Test at The Oval, starting on July 31. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested to manage his workload, while Rishabh Pant is expected to miss out due to a fractured toe.
“In the third match, Bumrah returns and Prasidh Krishna is dropped. In the fourth match, Akash Deep gets injured and Anshul Kamboj is brought in. What is going on? Have you ever seen this many changes? It's not just bad, it's worse,” Sidhu said.

The 61-year-old also raised questions regarding the exclusion of Kuldeep Yadav. He added that the team operated with just "two and a half bowlers" on the day. Sidhu noted that while over 40% of Bumrah’s deliveries in the first Test exceeded 140 km/h, only one ball crossed that mark this time.
England scored 544/7 at stumps on Day 3, with a 186-run lead. Ben Stokes (77*) and Liam Dawson (21*) remained unbeaten at the crease. Joe Root hit his 38th Test century, scoring 150 from 248 deliveries. Scrutiny has grown over India’s selection decisions and team management.
