Following Ravichandran Ashwin’s sudden departure from the playing XI due to a family medical emergency, questions arise about the possibility of a replacement in the team lineup. However, it appears there’s no immediate solution in sight.
The regulations permit player substitutions only in cases of concussion or Covid-19, leaving India with no option but to continue with 10 players for the remainder of the game.
As the match resumes, Devdutt Padikkal steps in as a substitute fielder for Ashwin. With the spotlight now on Jasprit Bumrah as he takes charge of the bowling, anticipation builds to see if the pitch conditions can aid India’s quest for breakthroughs. Stay tuned for live action updates.
