To manage his workload, ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah was given a break from the fourth Test against England in Ranchi.
However, that didn't hamper India's incredible five-wicket win over the visitors, which eventually sealed the series in their favour. According to reports, Bumrah is slated to make his comeback in Dharamshala for the series' fifth and final match, with potential alterations to the playing XI by team management, aimed at workload management for other players.
Notably, Rajat Patidar, who's had a series to forget so far, may end up getting one more opportunity. As per Cricbuzz, KL Rahul has been sent to London for treatment and is likely to miss the fifth Test as well.
In such a scenario, Devdutt Padikkal may end up receiving his debut cap, while another batsman is anticipated to be rested for the same reason of workload management. If that happens, Patidar may end up batting at four. However, it is still unclear if the team management would give a break to any of the in-form batters.
