IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction

IND vs ENG Match Preview

India will have to play this match without the presence of key players such as Virat Kohli, Mohammad Shami, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja. The absence of Ravindra Jadeja will be particularly significant, as he is known for his versatility and contributes as both a batsman and a bowler. As a result, we can anticipate significant changes in the team composition for the upcoming match.

In our opinion, Kuldeep Yadav could be included in the lineup as a replacement for Ravindra Jadeja, with both Ashwin and Axar moving up one position in the batting order. However, finding a suitable replacement for KL Rahul will be more challenging. India has the option of selecting Sarfaraz Khan, who has been in outstanding form in domestic cricket, or Rajat Patidar, who is already a part of the squad.

Considering their familiarity with batting in the middle order, we believe that Sarfaraz Khan will be the preferred choice for India. 

Undoubtedly, India's batting lineup lacks experience and is under immense pressure. However, they should not be underestimated. Players like Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and even Rohit Sharma are under pressure to perform and prove their capabilities. We expect them to display resilience and determination in this match.

Despite the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, India's bowling attack remains world-class. Kuldeep Yadav's bowling skills would easily secure him a place in any other team. Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin were exceptional in the previous match, and a helpful pitch will also bring Axar Patel into the mix.

Overall, although India faces challenges due to the absence of key players, they still possess a formidable team that should not be taken lightly.

In the first match, Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, and Ollie Pope displayed exceptional batting skills, standing out among the rest. However, Jonnie Bairstow, Ben Foakes, and Joe Root also showcased their talent. Any of these players have the potential to make a significant impact on a deteriorating pitch by either playing a cameo or forming a quick partnership, which could ultimately make a difference in the outcome of the match.

Although England's batting was anticipated to perform well, we were pleasantly surprised by the success of their bowlers. While they had favorable bowling conditions on Day 4, credit must be given to Tom Hartley. Despite a challenging first inning where he was taken to task, he displayed absolute brilliance and found his rhythm.

Due to an injury to Jack Leach, it is possible that Shoaib Bashir will make his debut. Additionally, it will be intriguing to see if Mark Wood retains his place in the team after a relatively ineffective performance in the previous match.
