Following Team India’s sensational rearguard to draw the Manchester Test against England on Day 5, left-arm seamer Arshdeep was seemingly seen doing Bhangra while heading to the dressing room. A video of this joyful celebration was widely shared by his IPL franchise, Punjab Kings, capturing the 25-year-old grooving on the stairs of the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. This spontaneous moment of celebration came after India staged a remarkable comeback in the fourth Test. Team
India had found themselves with their backs to the wall when they began their second innings as they had conceded a 311-run lead. Their troubles compounded further when England reduced them to 0-2 on day four. However, a valiant effort saw Shubman Gill and KL Rahul lay the crucial building blocks of a long vigil with a 188-run partnership. This foundation allowed other batters to flourish, as Apart from Gill (103), Sundar and Jadeja also peeled off unbeaten centuries, keeping England on the field for more than 130 overs. India ultimately finished at 425/4, denying England a victory and boosting morale.

Injury sidelines Arshdeep from Old Trafford against England
Despite the celebratory mood, Arshdeep had been ruled out of the Old Trafford Test due to a finger injury, specifically an impact injury to his left thumb while bowling in the nets at a training session in Beckenham. However, the good news for the tall left-armer and Team India is that Arshdeep has been named in the squad for the fifth and final Test at The Oval against England. This suggests he is on track for recovery and could potentially make his Test debut.
Kohli’s inclusion comes as the team also grapples with another significant injury, as Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the fixture due to the foot injury sustained at Old Trafford on Day 1. Narayanan Jagadeesan has been called up as a replacement, but Dhruv Jurel remains in strong contention to take the wicketkeeping duties. The squad for the decisive Test is robust, featuring a mix of established players and emerging talents. The draw at Old Trafford has undoubtedly boosted the visitors’ confidence as they head to The Oval, a venue where the last time the two sides played. India registered a commanding victory.
