<p><strong>India vs England 5th Test Match</strong>: The last match of the ongoing five-match Test series between India and England will be played on March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. There has been a change in the squad since the last Test match, information about which was given by BCCI this afternoon. Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is out of the squad due to injury. The Indian team's vice captain, Jasprit Bumrah, is going to return to the playing 11. This article will provide Team India Updated Squad for the Final Test Match against England</p>



<p>KL Rahul and injury have an old relationship; once again, Rahul has been out of the last test match due to injury. According to reports, he is also doubtful about playing in the IPL in 2024. Rahul has been ruled out of the Dharamsala test match due to a quadriceps injury. He has gone to London for better treatment, under the supervision of the BCCI medical team.</p>



<p>Indian Test team vice captain Jasprit Bumrah is ready to make a comeback in the fifth Test match. Bumrah had been bowling long-overs for the Indian team in three consecutive matches, due to which he was rested in the fourth Test match. He was the leading wicket taker of the first series in the Ranchi Test but was overtaken by English bowler Tom Hartley after the fourth Test match. Bumrah has taken a total of 17 wickets in three matches, while Hartley has taken 20 wickets.</p>



<p>Indian team bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar was selected in the squad for the five-match Test series, but he did not get a place in the playing 11. The Ranji Trophy semi-final match is to be played against Tamil Nadu and Mumbai on March 2nd, for which Sundar has been released from the squad. He will play for his home team, Tamil Nadu, in the semi-final match against Mumbai.</p>

Team India Updated Squad for the Final Test Match against England | India vs England 5th Test Match

team-india-updated-squad-for-the-final-test-match-against-england-india-vs-england-5th-test-match

<p><strong>IND vs ENG 5th Test:</strong> India are set to lock horns against England in the 5th and last Test of the England Tour Of India 2024 and Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja are on the doorstep of huge milestones individually.</p>



<p>England are on a tour of India and they were scheduled to play five test matches. Four of the five matches have been played and as expected, India have thrived in the show. Despite losing the first test of the series, India have won the series by winning consecutive three tests. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Yashasvi-Jaiswal-.jpg" alt="Yashasvi Jaiswal broke the 16-year-old record of former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag" class="wp-image-127129" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yashasvi Jaiswal | IND vs ENG, 4th Test</figcaption></figure>



<p>Yashasvi Jaiswal has come up as the best batsman among all in the series. He is also the highest run scorer (655) of the series with a healthy lead to Shubman Gill who is second with 342 runs in the tournament. </p>



<p>Jaiswal has played 8 Test Matches for India and in 15 innings, he has scored 971 runs. He is just 29 runs away from 1000 runs. If he adds up 29 runs in either inning of the match, he will become the second-fastest Indian player to score one thousand runs in the Test after Vinod Kambli who did the job in 14 innings.</p>



<p>Jaiswal has been exceptional top of the order. He has amassed three big hundreds and three excellent fifties in his very young career and surely there are many to come.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Ravindra-Jadeja-1-1024x664.jpg" alt="SA vs IND: 2 Changes India can make for 2nd Test against South Africa suggested by Irfan Pathan" class="wp-image-124763" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: Cricket Australia</figcaption></figure>



<p>Ravindra Jadeja, on the other hand, has been one among the most valuable players in the squad. His all-rounder ability has proven to be the savior for the side in this series. He has played 3 matches in this series and batted on 5 innings where he collected 217 runs with an average of over 43.</p>



<p>More than his batting, he has been more impressive with his bowling. He has taken 17 wickets in this series in 3 matches with an average of 25. He has bowled 127 overs and shares the second spot in the wicket-takers tally with Bumrah and Ravi Ashwin.</p>



<p>Jadeja has taken 292 wickets in a total of 71 matches in Test format. He is just 8 wickets short of becoming the seventh Indian and the third spinner to pick up 300 wickets in Test cricket.</p>

Jaiswal, Jadeja On Verge of Huge Milestone Ahead of IND vs ENG 5th Test

jaiswal-jadeja-on-verge-of-huge-milestone-ahead-of-ind-vs-eng-5th-test

<p><strong>IND vs ENG 5th Test: </strong>The long India vs England test series has now reached its climax with both teams gearing up for the one final challenge - Dharmshala. The IND vs ENG 5th Test is scheduled to be played in Dharmshala's HPCA Stadium, starting March 07. This article brings to you the IND vs ENG 5th Test: HPCA Dharmshala Rain Prediction, Weather Forecast for India vs England Test And Pitch Report | England tour of India 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Table of Contents</strong></h2><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#ind-vs-eng-5th-test-hpca-dharmshala-pitch-report">IND vs ENG 5th Test: HPCA Dharmshala Pitch Report</a></div><div class=""><a href="#ind-vs-eng-5th-test-hpca-dharmshala-weather-forecast">IND vs ENG 5th Test: HPCA Dharmshala Weather Forecast</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>The five-match India vs England test series began with the visitors producing a shocker for the hosts in Hyderabad late in January. The Rohit Sharma-led Team India was stunned by the Englishmen in Hyderabad by 28 runs. </p>



<p>However, the comeback following the defeat has been nothing less than a sight for sore eyes. With a pretty young and inexperienced squad, India has managed to rack up three wins on the trot against the full-strength English side that defeated India in the series opener. </p>



<p>Rohit and Co won the second fixture in Vishakhapatnam by 106 runs and followed it with a record-shattering win by 434 runs in the third game held in Rajkot. The last held fixture was also won by India by 5 wickets to pocked the five-match test series against England with an unassailable lead of 3-1.</p>



<p>Though the IND vs ENG test series is already done and dusted, HPCA Dharmshala's contest between the two sides brings some exciting challenges. Crucial ICC WTC Points will be on the cards as the two sides turn up for the 5th India vs England test on March 07 in Dharmshala.</p>



<p>The surface in Dharmshala throws up a completely different challenge for the players. It's the surface, unlike many Indian pitches, which keeps the bowlers on the run. </p>



<p>Let's now take a look at IND vs ENG 5th Test: HPCA Dharmshala Pitch Report:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-eng-5th-test-hpca-dharmshala-pitch-report"><strong>IND vs ENG 5th Test: HPCA Dharmshala Pitch Report</strong></h2>



<p>As per the reports, the HPCA Dharmshala pitch for the IND vs ENG 5th test will be a slow turner. The track will have enough bounce and carry for the pacers to remain in the game throughout the proceedings of the test. The spinners, however, will have their say in the game as the innings proceed.</p>



<p>With weather conditions, there are good chances of the ball deceiving the batters in the air on day one of the test. The English pacers will fancy themselves taking the new ball on the opening day and initiate damage.</p>



<p>In the only test played here, India defeated Australia by 8 wickets. The bowlers remained the key stakeholders in the game.</p>

<p>The conditions are not going to be easy for Team India as they head to Dharmshala for the final test against England. The temperatures are expected to dip to as low as 5 degrees on March 07 in the morning. While the afternoon temperature is forecast to be 7 degrees with rain and decent cloud cover.</p>



<p>However, the pain of chilled weather won't last longer than the opening day as the weather forecast shows a rise in the temperature for the next four days. The temperature rise will be felicitated with a decent presence of sunlight. The temperatures are expected to hover around 11-21 degrees throughout the day.</p>

<p><strong>ICC WTC Points Table:</strong> The stage is all set for the 5th and last contest of the five-match test series in the England Tour of India 2024. The hosts India are set to lock horns against visitors England in the 5th test in one of the best picturesque venues HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala, and this encounter is crucial for Team India keeping WTC standings in view. Here is the ICC WTC Points Table Updated before the IND vs ENG 5th test.</p>

<p>India have already won the test series even though they were on the losing corner in the first Test of the series. The well-planned combination of resilience and persistence from the Indian squad was the key against the indomitable England Cricket team.</p>



<p>Ben Stokes found confidence in his team's improvement throughout this lengthy five-Test series, which began in the southern region of the nation in late January. His team had different expectations coming into India, was inexperienced, and had a moniker Bazball hanging over their necks.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Engalnd-1-1.jpg" alt="England announce their official playing 11 for the Ranchi test against India" class="wp-image-126961" /></figure>



<p>In the historical setting of India, it is not unusual to begin a series with a loss and win it. In terms of perspective, Rohit Sharma had the luxury of looking back on a challenging yet fruitful series and labeling it as one of his team's "comebacks" as he has done now following the Hyderabad Test defeat. On the other hand, the graph showed a different direction for England.</p>



<p>India will again look towards young faces like Jaiswal, Jurel, Sarfaraz, and others as they have looked promising in the series. The good news for India in the final test is that Jasprit Bumrah is back in the squad. </p>

<p>England have carried out their recently acquired tradition of announcing their playing 11 a day before the match starts and Ollie Robinson made the way in for Mark Wood for the final test match of the series. They have chose to stick with the two spinners and two pacers concept which wasn't looking very effective in the fourth test. Below is the England's announced Playing 11:</p>



<p><strong>England's announced Playing 11:</strong> Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (C) Ben Foakes (WK), Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir.</p>

ICC WTC Points Table Updated before IND vs ENG 5th Test | Can India Consolidate Their First Spot? | ICC World Test Championship 2023-25

icc-wtc-points-table-updated-before-ind-vs-eng-5th-test-can-india-consolidate-their-first-spot-icc-world-test-championship-2023-25

<p><strong>Most Runs in WTC 2023-25 Cycle: </strong>Young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has had a fantastic outing so far in the ongoing India vs England 5-match test series. The southpaw has stepped up on multiple occasions in the series with his scintillating batting form and is now on the verge of reaching a massive milestone during the India vs England 5th test in Dharmshala.</p>



<p>Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has over 650 runs in the four games of the test series against England, is just 29 runs away from aggregating 1,000 test runs in the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC). </p>



<p>Should the opener manage to score 29 runs or more in the upcoming test match in Dharmshala, he will become the first batter to score 1,000 runs in the current 2023-25 WTC cycle.</p>



<p>22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal has 971 runs to his name in 8 matches of the ongoing WTC cycle at an impressive average of 69.35. The batter has slammed two double-centuries along with a century (171 runs) in his short career so far.</p>



<p>It's noteworthy that both the double-tons Jaiswal has scored have come against England. His maiden double-century (209 runs) came during the 2nd India vs England test which was held in Vishakhapatnam, while the second big score (214* runs) he racked up in Rajkot.</p>



<p>Besides Yashasvi Jaiswal, Indian captain Rohit Sharma is the only other Indian batter to feature in the list of players with the most runs in the WTC 2023-25 cycle. Rohit has amassed 597 runs in 8 test matches at an average of 42.64 and is placed in the ninth position.</p>



<p>India is set to lock horns against England in the fifth test which is scheduled to begin on March 07 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium (HPCA) in Dharmshala. </p>



<p>The five-match test series is already in the hands of India with an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series. While India will eye finishing the exhilarating red-ball series on a high, England would love to exploit the Indian conditions in Dharmshala and produce a superb comeback to cap off the India tour.</p>

Yashasvi Jaiswal 29 runs away from reaching massive milestone during India vs England 5th Test, Most Runs in WTC 2023-25 Cycle

yashasvi-jaiswal-29-runs-away-from-reaching-massive-milestone-during-india-vs-england-5th-test-most-runs-in-wtc-2023-25-cycle

<p><strong>India vs England 5th Test: </strong>There are not many cricketers in the world who have gone on to play 100 international matches for their country, and then there are some who set the bar high and gear up to play their 100th Test match - India's ace spinner R Ashwin is one of them. The veteran spinner will receive his 100th Test cap during the India vs England 5th test in Dharmshala on Thursday, March 07.</p>



<p>Labelled as one of the greats of the red-ball game, R Ashwin recently touched a string of milestones following his landmark 500th test wicket. He became the ninth bowler in the history of the game to pick 500 or more wickets and only second Indian after legendary spinner Anil Kumble.</p>



<p>Since making his debut in 2010, Ashwin has been India's top bowler in different formats. Early on in his career, he took all three formats of the game heads-on and tasted decent success, however, eventually, the spinner would go on to become a test giant. </p>



<p>37-year-old Ashwin has dominated the test charts for close to a decade now, especially on home conditions. With his canny ability to strike down the opposition and sheer brilliance to outplay them, Ashwin, today, stands as one of the best craftsmen who has ever played the sport of cricket at the highest level.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>BCCI celebrates R Ashwin's milestone ahead of India vs England 5th Test</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1765387228971229385
</div></figure>



<p>As R Ashwin takes his landmark 100th Test cap, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a video sharing the cricketer's view and emotions as he adds another feather to his decorated hat. </p>



<p>Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, who has closely spent a few years with Ashwin during his tenure as the Indian coach, lauded him for the massive milestone.</p>



<p>"It's not often, you can say that about spinners but you knew very clearly, that he would be the next. The astronaut that he [R Ashwin]  is and the wavelengths he gets onto, comes naturally to him and you can see the skill factors just getting better and better," Ravi Shastri said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>R Ashwin is a Cricket Scientist says, Rohit Sharma</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/Rohit-Ashwin-1.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG: Indian spinner R Ashwin set for another milestone during India vs England 5th Test" class="wp-image-127502" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Indian captain Rohit Sharma, too, was all praise for the spinner on the eve of the India vs England 5th Test in Dharmshala. The skipper asserted that Ashwin has been a match-winner for the team over the years.</p>



<p>"[It's a] big achievement for any player to play 100 Tests. It is a big milestone. He has been a match-winner for us. What he has done for us, no praise is enough," Rohit said on the eve of the match.</p>



<p>"His performances over the last five-seven years, every series he has contributed. It is rare to have players like him," he added.</p>



<p>Rohit Sharma termed Ashwin as "Cricket Scientist", who has evolved over the years. The veteran spinner used to be an opener early on in his career, but started bowling and is now an impeccable star for the team.</p>



<p>"As a captain, I have seen him since U-19, U-17 days. He batted at that time, was an opener and then he started bowling. And I used to bowl [off-spin] and then became a batsman, so it became up and down for us but it has been good for Indian cricket." Ashwin, the "cricket scientist", has evolved a lot in these 14 years, feels Rohit.</p>
