NEW DELHI: The absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah raises concerns, but India, known for their assertiveness and adaptability, hold the advantage over England's seemingly shallow 'Bazball' approach as they gear up for the potentially series-deciding fourth Test beginning in Ranchi on Friday.
Uncapped pace bowler Akash Deep has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Bumrah and partner Mohammed Siraj after he was seen sweating it out during optional training on Thursday.
