India playing XI: Kuldeep in the mix, Akash Deep likely to return; call on Bumrah soon

With the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy still alive and series on the line, India are expected to veer from its safety-first approach in the fifth Test, starting Thursday at The Oval, and go all-out for the kill to level the series. Bumrah's participation remains uncertain and the question marks over Shardul Thakur or Kuldeep Yadav persists. On the batting front, Dhruv Jurel replaces the injured Rishabh Pant.
