IND vs ENG Dream11 Team - 3rd Test 2021 | 24 Feb

There’s more than just a Test match win up for grabs here as a loss n any of the 3rd or 4th Tests would mean losing a spot in the World Test Championship final for India. They haven’t played too much of Day/Night cricket and this 3rd Test at Motera is the best chance for the visitors to go ahead and knock out India from making that final against New Zealand at Lord’s in England.

We can expect quite a few changes for England who is following a rotational policy ever since the pandemic and in fact, one may even say they lost the 2nd Test at Chennai because they weren’t playing their strongest eleven. We think pacers may be important under lights while spinners will come into play later in the Test here at Motera.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 Test matches, England leads 3-2.
Ravichandran Ashwin – 17 wickets in 2 Tests this series.
Rory Burns – only 58 runs in 4 innings on this tour so far.

India

After a real doubt on his fitness and a place in the Test side, Rohit Sharma scored a fluent century in the 2nd Test which attributed to India’s victory in that game and he now becomes someone worth considering for your IND vs ENG fantasy team. He along with Ravichandran Ashwin are India’s only centurions in this series so far and to add to that, Ashwin is also the leading wicket-taker in the series so far.

Given the fact that Axar Patel had a fabulous debut and Kuldeep Yadav was barely given the ball int he 2nd Test, we think the former should be picked in your IND vs ENG Dream11 team while the latter may even be left out for Mohammed Siraj or Umesh Yadav. The Indian captain won a Test after 4 consecutive losses as captain and Virat Kohli personally will be hungry for runs, having scored an international century last over a year back.

England

The biggest boost for England is the return of Jonny Bairstow and after a few poor scores, the axe is likely to be dealt to Daniel Lawrence. Bairstow will be a good addition to the side which has been heavily reliant on Joe Root with the bat. At the top of the order Rory Burns has picked one duck in each test match so far and he’s likely to be replaced by someone who has been doing well in international cricket recently – Zak Crawley.

Given their rotational policy, James Anderson is set to slot back into the side and we think he’s a worth addition to your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team, picking 5 wickets in the only game he played so far, while Jofra Archer seemed a little bit inefficient. We think England might play one less spinner which means Chris Woakes could come in and if he does, the latter could even be your fantasy captain or vice-captain.
