Now it has to be seen who will give an opportunity to the playing captain Virat Kohli in the playing eleven in place of Bumrah.
Team India will not get the services of its leading fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth and final test against England.
Bumrah on Saturday withdrew his name from the fourth test citing personal reasons.
Bumrah was rested for the T20 International series, after which it was clear that he would be participating in the fourth test.
But now Team India will have to run without Bumrah. The absence of Bumrah can prove to be effective for the Indian team as it is not easy for any player to fill his place.
It will not be easy for Indian captain Virat Kohli to find an alternative to Bumrah. However, there will be competition between the three players to take the place of Bumrah. Now it will have to be seen which player will be betting in the fourth test of Virat Kohli.

3 contenders to replace Bumrah
Umesh Yadav –
Indian captain Virat Kohli can bet on veteran fast bowler Umesh Yadav who knows the domestic conditions better. Umesh Yadav did not get a chance in the third test because the pitch here was helpful for the spinners. The right-arm fast bowler confirmed his place in the team after passing the fitness test. There is a strong expectation that Umesh Yadav may get a chance in the playing eleven in the fourth Test in place of Jasprit Bumrah. Umesh Yadav led the Indian fast bowling attack against Australia in the absence of regular fast bowlers. But he was ruled out of the series due to injury. The right-arm fast bowler has taken 148 wickets in 48 Tests so far.
Mohammed Siraj –
Mohammed Siraj can also be preferred over Umesh Yadav. Siraj was heavily impressed by the Australia tour and took a wicket in a test in the current series. Mohammed Siraj is in a good rhythm and in such a way, captain Virat Kohli can bet on his young fast bowler. Siraj can be seen sharing the new ball with veteran Ishant Sharma in the fourth test.
Kuldeep Yadav –
Spinners helped a lot in the third test. In view of this, Virat Kohli can also handle the field with three spinners in the fourth test. Kuldeep played a test and took two wickets in the current series. Team India will once again give a chance to their leading spinners to take quick wickets. At the same time, for the batsmen of the England team, understanding of the Chinaman can prove to be a pudding.
