In this crucial situation, Arshdeep Singh's injury has caused concern for the team management.

Although Arshdeep Singh is yet to make his Test debut, it was widely expected that he could be included in the fourth Test. In particular, considering the workload of leading pacer jasprit bumrah, it was said that he could be rested for one match in this series. Also, since Prasit krishna has not been as good as expected in the last matches, it was expected that left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh would give a new dimension to the team's bowling.
