India pacer Jasprit Bumrah had previously indicated he was available to play only three Tests in the current Anderson-Tendulkar Test series. He has so far featured in the first and third Tests. With India having lost two Tests and won one, the fourth Test is a must-win for the team if they are to keep their hopes in the series alive. Bumrah's availability can be crucial, particularly with the bowling unit in need of solidity. But the team management has not yet confirmed whether Bumrah will feature in the upcoming Test at Manchester. India's former captain Sunil Gavaskar expressed his opinions on it. According to him, when a player enrolls himself to play a series for their nation, they must be prepared to play all matches. Gavaskar emphatically stated: "No superstar player should take a break. You have not come here for a holiday."

The defeat revealed India's weaknesses in top-order batting. The captain, Shubman Gill, was disappointed with the defeat and said that the team could have played better in the last session on Day 4. Nevertheless, he said that he was proud of how the team fought, particularly the performances by Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj. With more than a week between the third and fourth Test, Sunil Gavaskar suggested that Indian players who have not played much should be included in County matches. He feels this will provide them with crucial match practice before the next match, if they are likely to be selected for the fourth Test, which begins from July 23. Gavaskar said: "You should get some cricket. You are playing for India. You are not here for a cruise or something like that." Harsha Bhogle also suggested that the players like Akash Deep, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Arshdeep Singh, Nitish Reddy should play in County games during the break between two Tests. Gavaskar replied saying: "Even Kuldeep Yadav. Suddenly, you want them in the team. With what practice you want them in the team?"
