India's emphatic 336-run victory over England at Edgbaston has sparked discussions about potential changes to the team's lineup for the upcoming Test at Lord's. The win, led by Shubman Gill's impressive batting and Akash Deep's remarkable bowling, has leveled the series 1-1. However, the anticipated return of Jasprit Bumrah could lead to a tough decision regarding the fast bowling attack.

Akash Deep's stellar performance in the Edgbaston Test has made him a strong contender to retain his place in the team. Filling in for the rested Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep seized the opportunity, claiming a remarkable 10 wickets in the match. His figures of 4/88 in the first innings and 6/99 in the second innings not only showcased his skill but also demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure. His crucial wickets of key English batsmen, including Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, and Harry Brook, significantly contributed to India's victory.

Shubman Gill, recognizing Akash Deep's impact, lauded the bowler's wholehearted effort and ability to move the ball both ways, especially on a challenging pitch. An English fan even composed a song for Akash Deep, highlighting his impressive performance and the impact he had on the match.

With Jasprit Bumrah expected to return for the Lord's Test, a decision must be made regarding the composition of the pace attack. While Akash Deep's performance makes him a strong candidate to stay in the team, the experienced Mohammed Siraj is also a key member of the bowling unit. Siraj played a vital role in the Edgbaston Test, particularly in the first innings where he took 6 wickets.

Given the circumstances, Prasidh Krishna is the most likely candidate to make way for Bumrah. Despite the good performances from the other bowlers, Krishna had a relatively quiet game, securing only one wicket. This makes him the most logical choice to be replaced to accommodate the return of Bumrah.

The decision to potentially drop a star pacer after such a dominant win highlights the competition for places in the Indian team and the importance of adaptability and seizing opportunities. Shubman Gill acknowledged that Bumrah would "definitely" be back for the Lord's Test. The final decision will depend on the team management's assessment of the pitch conditions at Lord's and their overall strategy for the match.
