England vs India 2018: 3 Indian Players who deserve a chance in the Fifth Test 

England v India: Specsavers 4th Test - Day One
Captain Kohli has some decisions to make.

#2. Umesh Yadav

England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day One
Umesh Yadav has found opportunities hard to come by.

Umesh Yadav has been getting wickets throughout the year in all formats, but that has not helped him get consistent opportunities in the Test team. He did play in the First Test at Edgbaston but has been relegated to the dugout since then.

And while the pace trio of Bumrah, Ishant and Shami has done well, it is hard to deny Yadav a spot in the team considering his form throughout the year. Now with all hopes of a series win gone, India can afford to experiment with their bowling line up and give the pacer a chance in the dead rubber match at the Oval.

He will surely feature in the Indian team at the upcoming World Cup because of his ability to take important wickets. And bowling in English conditions will only make him better equipped to tackle that challenge.
