IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction

IND vs ENG Match Preview

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill delivered exceptional batting performances, propelling India to victory. Jaiswal achieved his first international double-century, while Gill scored his long-awaited test century. Their consistent form makes them an excellent choice for your Dream11 contests, especially considering the batting-friendly venue.

Ravindra Jadeja is set to return to the team, pending clearance from the medical team. However, his absence leaves a significant gap in the middle order, which may be filled by a debutant. Sarfaraz Khan or Devdutt Padikkal, or possibly both, could be included in the playing eleven.

In terms of bowling, Mukesh Kumar and Mohammed Siraj are retained in the pace attack. While Siraj is expected to play, it would be unwise to select any seamer other than Bumrah.

For spin options, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Ravichandran Ashwin are available for selection. It is advisable to choose as many spinners as possible.

If Jadeja is deemed fit, he will undoubtedly be included in the team. This would then require India to decide between the all-round balance of Axar Patel or the wicket-taking abilities of Kuldeep Yadav, who specializes in wrist-spin.

Additionally, there is a possibility of Dhruv Jurel replacing KS Bharat. It is uncommon to witness such significant changes in a lineup between Tests, particularly for the home team.

Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope will play crucial roles as the main batsmen for England in this match. Crawley showcased his impressive skills in the previous game by scoring more than 50 runs in both innings. On the other hand, Ollie Pope is a reliable performer in the middle order, who unfortunately missed out on a double century in Hyderabad.

Although some of the senior batsmen like Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Johnny Bairstow haven't been in their best form, they have displayed a clear and aggressive approach in their gameplay.

When it comes to the spin attack, Tom Hartley, Rehan Ahmed, and Shoaib Bashir are the key players. However, we believe that Hartley is the only spinner worth selecting in this lineup. Additionally, the team is likely to include one more seamer alongside the experienced James Anderson.

In this scenario, Ollie Robinson is the obvious choice and could prove to be a valuable asset for England if he can generate some reverse swing, similar to Anderson.
