India and England are set to face off in the fifth and final Test match, commencing on Thursday at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. The hosts have already clinched the series after a five-wicket victory in the fourth Test in Ranchi, putting them ahead 3-1.
Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the previous Test in Ranchi, will strengthen the Indian bowling attack. Meanwhile, India's off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and England's wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow are both poised to mark their 100th Test appearances for their respective nations.
Ashwin achieved a significant milestone by reaching 500 Test wickets during the third Test. On the other hand, Bairstow is just 26 runs away from reaching 6000 Test runs.
India currently leads the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 points table with a point percentage of 64.58%. In contrast, England finds themselves at the bottom of the table with a mere 19.44% point percentage from nine Tests in the ongoing WTC cycle. Sri Lanka is the only team with a lower figure than England.
