Indian pacer Deepak Chahar was present at Lord's during Team India's practice session ahead of the third Test at Lord's. The Test match starts from July 10 with the series level 1-1.
England won the first Test at Headingley. India then made a daunting comeback in the second Test, winning it by 336 runs. They challenged England to score over 600 runs in the second innings and won the match in style. It was one of their biggest win in terms of runs in Test matches.
Heading into the third Test at Lord's, Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make a comeback, as confirmed by Shubman Gill. He was rested from the second Test after India lost the first Test. There was a lot of talk about that decision.

However, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep stepped up and shared 17 wickets between the two of them. Meanwhile, ahead of the third Test, Deepak Chahar was seen bowling to the Indian batters at the nets. Chahar being a swing bowler, was perhaps helping the batters get adjusted to the swinging conditions.
Lord's as a venue is known among the best batting grounds in England. However, the pitch for the third Test has a greenish look to it which is why perhaps India decided to bring in Deepak Chahar. Though he is not part of the team, the batters did get a lot of help playing against his swing.

He should replace Prasidh Krishna in the XI. There was a lot of talk regarding the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav ahead of the second Test. However, Washington Sundar scored runs with the bat and took the big wicket of Ben Stokes on the brink of lunch on day five of the second Test.
