IND vs ENG 2024: KL Rahul ruled out of Ranchi Test, Bumrah rested

KL Rahul has been ruled out of the fourth Test match against England at Ranchi as he is yet to recover from the quadriceps injury. Rahul played the first Test match against the visitors at Hyderabad but was ruled out due to the same from second and third Test matches.

The flamboyant batter had scored 86 runs in the first innings of the opening Test. On the other hand, India’s gun fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for the penultimate Test of the series. Bumrah has sent down 80.5 overs in the series and has been rested to manage his workload.

The ace bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing series with 17 scalps in three matches at an average of 13.65. Bumrah had returned with match-winning figures of 9-91 in the second Test match at Vizag.

Moreover, Mukesh Kumar, who was released ahead of the third Test match, has been added back to the Test squad. Kumar played in the second Test match at Vizag but could only take a solitary wicket.

Meanwhile, India won the third Test match by a gargantuan margin of 434 runs, registering their biggest Test win, to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Virat Kohli, revealed on Tuesday that he and his wife, Anushka Sharma, have been blessed with a baby boy, Akaay, on 15th February. Ergo, the talisman will continue to miss the rest of the series against England.

India and England will next take on each other at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi in the fourth Test match from Friday.

India squad for the 4th Test: Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Devdutt Padikkal, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (wk), KS Bharat (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep
