Day 4 dawned with high stakes for both teams. England, chasing a daunting target of 399 runs, commenced their innings with determination. Opener Zack Crawley and nightwatchman Rehan Ahmed provided a solid start, but India's relentless bowling attack, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel, made early breakthroughs. Patel's dismissal of Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav's crucial wicket of Crawley set the tone for India's dominance in the first session.

As the match progressed, England fought back valiantly, with Ollie Pope showcasing aggressive batting prowess. However, Ravichandran Ashwin's skillful bowling proved instrumental as he dismissed key English batsmen, including Pope and Joe Root, just before lunch. India's fielding brilliance, highlighted by a superb run-out executed by Shreyas Iyer, further dented England's hopes of a comeback.

After the lunch break, England's hopes rested on the shoulders of Ben Stokes and Ben Foakes. Despite their resilience, India's bowlers maintained pressure, with Bumrah's precision and Iyer's athleticism leading to crucial breakthroughs.

With the series now level at 1-1, anticipation mounts as the teams prepare for the third Test in Rajkot. The closely contested battles and thrilling displays of skill promise another enthralling encounter between India and England.

Dynamic Batting Performances:

India's victory was largely attributed to their batting performance in both innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal stole the show in the opening innings with an outstanding double century that leveled the innings while wickets fell throughout the innings. Jaiswal's determination kept India from losing wickets early on and helped them score an enormous 396 runs. In the second innings, with a lead of 143 runs in hand but still requiring a competitive total, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill rose to the occasion. Their crucial partnership, especially Gill's century, set England a challenging target of 399 runs, laying the foundation for India's victory.

Bowling Brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah helped by Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav 

Although India's batting set the tone, Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding bowling display was what ultimately won. Bumrah's explosive spell in the first innings destroyed England's top order, including the vital removals of Joe Root and Zak Crawley. His 6/45 on a difficult wicket demonstrated his ability to trouble the best batsmen in the game, setting the stage for India's dominance. Bumrah's skill was evident even in the second innings, as he broke important partnerships and removed important batsmen, like Ben Foakes, to further cement India's hold on the game. On the other hand both spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav keep taking wickets and putting pressure on the batting by bowling economical overs. Ravichandran Ashwin was on the verge of getting his 500 wickets but Bumrah takes the last wicket and Ravichandran Ashwin has to wait for his 500th wicket till 15 February. 

Improved Fielding Display:

India's more accurate fielding, combined with outstanding batting and bowling efforts, was a major factor in their victory. India's fielders were alert and concentrated throughout the game, in contrast to other games where they lost badly due to missed opportunities. India demonstrated their will to seize every chance that presented itself with spectacular catches by captain Rohit Sharma and a masterful run-out by Shreyas Iyer to remove Ben Stokes.

Shami, KL Rahul, Siraj not playing this team was weak on paper but what makes difference was Rohit's brilliant mind he showed what he has in store to offer to India Cricket team at the age of 37. He backed all youngsters who were not performing and most of them delivered in this match at crucial point. In the Second Test Match his captaincy was spot on and his Captaincy has impressed the fans and experts be it field placing or bringing different bowler for different batsman  by matching strength and weakness of opposition players was highlights of his captaincy in the 2nd Test Match vs England.

First test match of 5 match Test series will start form 25  January in Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad. Two important players from both the side will miss the first Test match of India vs England. From Indian cricket Team, BCCI in its recent notice informed the fans that Virat Kohli will not be available for the first two Test matches against England due to some personal reason  and from England Cricket Team it was announced that Harry Brook will not take part in 5 match India vs England Test Series starting from January 25 due to some personal reasons. So both Indian England Team has lost one of their main players at least for the first 2 test matches. Although England Cricket Team has announced Dan Lawrence a middle order batter as the replacement of Harry Brook  for the Test Series Against India but BCCI has not announced any replacement of Virat Kohli for the first two test matches. In this article we will see how playing 11 of both the team will look for the 1st Test match India vs England.

Possible Replacement of Virat Kohli for First Test Matches

Why Virat Kohli not playing first two test matches is his personal reason and Virat Kohli's personal reason is not known to anyone what has happened is not known to anyone and BCCI has requested everyone to maintain the privacy about it. So it is certain that Virat Kohli is going to miss first two test matches. Replacement of Virat Kohli has not been announced yet BCCI in its later has asked that it will announce in due time. Replacement for Virat Kohli may be either Rajat Patidar or Sarafarz Khan it all depends on selectors who they choose. 

Possible combination Indian Team after Virat Kohli misses the first two test

From India's point of view there will be only few concerns which they have to address for the first test matches. First concern will be Wicket Keeper and other will be replacement of Virat Kohli at number 4. It is nearly impossible for any player to fill the place of Virat Kohli at number 4 but this is going to give Indian Team management a chance to test their bench strength in absence of Kohli at number 4. Indian Cricket Team played its last test match in South Africa where KL Rahul was assigned the role of Wicket keeping but in the pre series press conference coach Rahul Dravid said that KL Rahul will not do wicket keeping in this test series which means he will play as a proper batsman in the middle order as his preferred place which is opening slot is fixed with Rohit and Jaiswal. Now for the place of Wicket keeper there will toss up between KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel both players are coming from a fantastic domestic session but KS Bharat will most probably get a nod in the first two test matches as he has played Test matches before and recently he has scored a ton against England lions in a 4 day match. 

From Indian bowling point it is certain that India is going to play 3 spinners and two fast bowlers in First Test Match seeing the turning nature of Hyderabad pitch. So the three spinners may be R Ashwin, R Jadeja and Axar Patel. Batting ability of Axar Patel will give him place in the 11 ahead of Kuldeep Yadav.  

Look at the possible playing 11 of Indian Cricket Team for the First Test Match against England on January 25-   Rohit Sharma (C ),  Y Jaiswal,  S Gill,  KL Rahul, S Iyer,  KS Bharat (wk), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Mohd. Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah (VC)

This is perfect 11 for India for the first Test Match against England according to Cricessence

Possible combination England Team after Harry Brook opts out of the Test Series

Playing Bazball in India will be quite challenging for England in Indian conditions against quality Indian spinners. To play Bazball England Cricket team will need someone in the middle order who plays spins aggressively and Harry Brook was doing this for England Team but he will misses out this England Tour to India 2024  due to some personal reasons. Dan Lawrence, a middle order batter has been added to the England squad as the replacement of Harry Brook  for the Test Series Against India.

                     Looking at the spinning condition it might be tempting for England to play for three spinners which means they have to leave fast bowler Ollie Robinson out form the squad.  Shoaib Bashir,  and Rehan Ahmed will get a chance in the 11 for the first Test Match against India. 

Look at the possible playing 11 of England Cricket Team for the First Test Match against England on January 25-

Jack Crawley,  Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Ben Stokes (captain), Ollie Pope, Jonny Bairstow(wk), Rehan Ahmed, Jack Leach, Tom Hartley,  Shoaib Bashir,  Mark Wood
