India has taken a 2-1 lead against England in the ongoing five-Test series between India and England. The first match in four matches played so far was drawn due to rain. Whereas the Indian team registered a stunning victory in the second match. In the third match that followed, England fought back and defeated the Indian team by an innings and a big margin. After winning the third match, England seemed to be back in the series, but the Indian team played brilliantly in the fourth match to defeat England and smashed all their hopes of making a comeback.

The last and fifth match of the series will now be played in Manchester on September 10. The Indian team will also try to win the last match and win the series 3-1. In this last match, the Indian team could take on three big changes.

Hanuma Vihari

The Indian team is likely to give a break to the current Test vice-captain Anjikya Rahane in the last match in Manchester. Team India may give Hanuma Vihari a chance in place of Anjikya Rahane. Rahane's performance in all the matches of this series has been very poor so far. And he has scored just 109 runs. The Indian team could give Hanuma Vihari a chance to play at number four and he can also bowl part-time.

Mohammed Shami

The Indian team is likely to include Mohammed Shami in their last match of the England tour. In fact, Mohammed Shami was given rest after three consecutive Tests. But in the fifth and final Test, he can be placed back into the team. He might replace Jasprit Bumrah who has been part of four consecutive Test matches.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Many former cricketers were advocating for including the great spinner of the Indian team R Ashwin in this series. Many are hopeful that the spinner will be included in the last Test in Manchester. Ashwin can replace Jadeja in the team. Jadeja has been part of the team in all four Tests of the series.
