Former wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta has suggested a change in the XI of India for the fourth Test of the five -match series against England. Dasgupta said that Sai Reformson should come for Karun Nair, who has not changed, it starts in an important score and does not seem confident at the crease.
Karun Nair returned to the Test team after eight years, struggling to create an impact. He has scored an average of 131 runs below 22 despite starting in five of his six innings. The right -handed batsman is difficult to handle excess bounce, especially a good length.
India Trail in Lord’s after a loss of 22 runs in Test series of five matches 1-2 to five matches
India lags 1-2 in the five-match Test series against England after a 22-run defeat in the third Test at Lord’s. The form of Karun Nair remains a matter of concern, especially after his second innings at Lord’s, where he should have kept weapons on the ball coming from Bridan Cars.

With a fourth test a week away in Manchester, the team can consider a change on management number 3. Nair is likely to make way for Sai Sudarshan, which was dropped after a modest start in Leeds, where he managed to score only 30 runs. The 23 -year -old can be called back to strengthen the batting lineup.
Another option under consideration is Abhimanyu Ishvaran, who is part of the Test Squad since Australia Tour last year.
This will be with Sai Sudarshan in place of Karun Nair – Deep Dasgupta
Deep Dasgupta has supported bringing Sai Sudarson to XI for the fourth Test against England. The cricketer-turn-commentator said that Nair has not seen the crease settled against the England attack.
“In the playing XI, you don’t want more than one change. If there is only one, it will be with Sai Reformson instead of Karun Nair. Because Karun Nair has not scored a run. He has started, but has not converted them into a big score.
Sai Sudharsan – Invest in someone like Deep Dasgupta
Deep Dasgupta said that India should look at the future by giving Sai Sudarshan more opportunities in the ongoing series. He said that it would be intelligent to return to a small player like this, especially for India’s next Test tour of England.
Dasgupta said, “Sai Reformson is a young player. If you want to invest in this England series, you will invest in a small player. Karun Nair has been started in both Tests, but he did not see the assurance,” Dasgupta continued.
“So if you want to build further, you can invest in a person like Sai Reformson. Because after that, I don’t know that you will return to a series in England.”
India will aim to level the series in the upcoming Manchester Test, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, 23 July at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.
