The 2021 India tour of England is on and here, rain has been one of the biggest factors to keep in mind. Once again, the question may be asked about the weather but as we move to Headingley in Leeds, the skies have cleared with a maximum of 10% precipitation in the next 5 days of this test match. India begin as favourites as they haven’t lost a single of their last 5 Tests against this opponent, and they lead the series 1-0 too.
In the last 5 games between these two sides, only one game saw no result and that was a rained-out game, so we’d expect a result here for sure. As for England, they’d want to improve in the batting department, especially in the middle order that has not been contributing when most needed on this tour so far.

England
It’s likely England may have to look at their reserves in the bowling department the 3rd Test because Stuart Broad was already ruled out of the series (46 wickets in 10 Tests here) and now, Mark Wood has been ruled out wit injury too. In all likeliness, Saqib Mahmood may get a maiden Test cap and he’s worth having in your ENG vs IND fantasy team for the 3rd Test because of some great results in recent tournaments.
On the other hand, we have Sam Curran who hasn’t been all that effective with the ball and even bagged a King Pair in the last game which asks the question of whether or not he needs to be replaced by Craig Overton in the ENG vs IND playing XI. With the bat, the captain Joe Root has got two consecutive centuries and is a sure pick while it’s likely Haseeb Hameed’s failures will lead to another opportunity for Dawid Malan.
India
For India, no one would want to touch a winning combination, but there are experts asking if Suryakumar Yadav could replace either of Pujara or Rahane in the playing eleven. Similarly with the ball, fans are asking for Ravi Ashwin to get a game, which means Jadeja may get the axe because of few wickets with the ball. Pick KL Rahul in your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) ENG vs IND fantasy team because he’s looked the most solid for the visitors.

The added spin option could also be completed with Hanuma Vihari being picked in the ENG vs IND playing XI because he’s played in English conditions during the county season and can be a lower down batting option as well. From those who we know will be playing, pick Mohammed Shami as a bowling option, because he’s been the most fit and has caused trouble the English batsmen in every spell he’s bowled.
