Gautam Gambhir, India's head coach, has come under heavy criticism for the team's selection for the crucial fifth Test at The Oval, where India opted against playing Arshdeep Singh or Kuldeep Yadav. The decision has sparked widespread debate, especially considering the high stakes involved.
The exclusion of Arshdeep Singh raised several eyebrows. The left-arm seamer, known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, was seen by many as the perfect fit for the green-top pitch on offer. India instead persisted with a combination that had struggled for consistency throughout the series.
Kuldeep Yadav's continued omission has also baffled fans. The left-arm wrist-spinner has been in good form and is widely considered a potent attacking option, especially in the middle overs when the ball softens. However, he will end the series without playing a single Test, having warmed the bench for the entire two-month tour.
