India haven’t won a Test match in 50 years at the Oval, as Virat Kohli and Co look to bounce back and claim a much-needed win in the 4th Test. The loss in the Headingley Test has already seen India slip in the World Test Championship standings, and the visitors will be quick to identify issues and return to winning ways. A loss would end India’s hopes of clinching their first series win in England since 2007 when Rahul Dravid led side won 1-0.
IND vs ENG Kennington Oval Weather Prediction: Overcast start, sunny conditions later expected for Day 1.
IND vs ENG LIVE – Kennington Oval Weather Updates: While the forecast at Headingley was sunny for most of the match’s duration, the Kennington Oval is likely to see cloudy conditions. The first two days of the Oval Test are predicted to have no rain. The third day might be interrupted by rain and the fourth day’s play could see a heavy downpour. The final day in London could also see the interruption of the game due to rain.
IND vs ENG: India’s playing combination
The hovering clouds over the Oval sky will hugely influence Virat Kohli’s decision of Playing XI. While Ashwin is all set to come back, the India skipper is likely to stick to his tried and tested four-seamers formula with either of Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Shami being rested. Shardul Thakur is also all set to come back replacing a struggling Ishant Sharma.
It remains to be seen if Virat Kohli sticks to Ravindra Jadeja. If the clouds continue to hover over Surrey sky, Kohli will no doubt pick four-seamers, meaning he will pick either of Ashwin and Jadeja. Despite the defeat, India are unlikely to tinker with their batting combination for the Oval Test.
