It’s not just another Test series at stake but it’s a spot in the first ever World Test Championship Final that’s up for grabs. After an amazing outing and series win in Australia, Team India were string favourites coming into this home series but they ended up losing the 1st Test by a massive margin of 227, at a ground where they hadn’t lost in the last 9 years. Now, it’s imperative they win back if they want to keep their finals hopes alive!
England has always been a thorn in India’s side, whether playing Tests at home or away. India may consider a number of changes for this 2nd Test especially because Virat Kohli has always been known as a captain who likes to make a number of changes. As for England, we don’t see the need to tinker with a winning combination. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy preview of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test…

India
There’s a lot of talk about keeping Shahbaz Nadeem out who did pick 2 wickets in each innings but he was the most expensive bowler in each innings. Kuldeep Yadav is waiting on the bench and we may very well see him coming in for the 2nd Test, having a good limited overs record against England. As for the other spinner, Ravi Ashwin is on a roll with 9 wickets in the last game and if there’s a collapse, he can contribute with the bat too.
Virat Kohli hasn’t got a century in any format of the game in over 14 months now and we think he’s hungry for runs, especially since another member of the Fab Four in Joe Root went on to get a double century in the last game. Along with him, we think it’s time Rohit Sharma gets the axe since he’s only managed one fifty in 6 innings since his return to the Test side. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are both replacement options.
England
Captain Joe Root is not someone you can leave out of your IND vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Team because he averages 62+ against India in Tests and he’s got three consecutive scores of 150+ in Tests, of which two were double centuries as well. England is following a resting policy since the pandemic meaning Ben Foakes in for Jos Buttler and we’re picking Ben in our IND vs ENG fantasy team because not many teams will.

Another change that is likely is that of the 38-year old James Anderson getting a rest which would see Stuart Broad coming into the side. Either way, Broad may come in as Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the 2nd Test with an injury. With only 18 runs in the last Test, Daniel Lawrence won’t be picked by many teams which means he’s surely in our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team.
