The English team suffered an embarrassing defeat of 151 runs in the previous game at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Joe Root’s men looked completely clueless on the final day of the match where the opponents were all over them. The hosts’ batsmen have disappointed so far with their miserable performances, leaving aside their skipper’s heroics. However, they have added the likes of Dawid Malan and Saqib Mahmood, who have done quite well in the limited-overs format in the recent past.

The Virat Kohli-led side is coming to this clash after an outstanding win. Tailenders Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah added valuable runs to their team’s second innings total before their bowlers wrapped up the game. The Lord’s Test victory will definitely go down as India’s one of the top overseas triumphs of all time. The visitors are expected to take the same team here as well unless Ravichandran Ashwin finds a place in the playing XI.

Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are the top picks for ENG vs IND.
