IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 1st Test

IND vs ENG Match Preview

On Thursday morning, India and England will begin an eagerly anticipated five-match Test series in Hyderabad. India won their last Test by 7 wickets against South Africa earlier this month, while England’s last Test was in the Ashes in July. India enters this Test in second place in the World Test Championship and has a very good recent record against England at home in this format. On a pitch that is expected to turn, India will expect to win this game. England have not played an overseas Test in nearly a year, but they have an excellent record under captain Stokes and coach McCullum. However, they lost their last away Test, and India will be a formidable opponent in Hyderabad.

Topmost Picks for IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Rohit Sharma – The skipper averages 45.57 in Test cricket and will come into this Test looking for his 11th century in this format.
• Jasprit Bumrah – The vice-captain is a brilliant bowler across all formats and has 140 Test wickets from only 32 Test match appearances.

Top Picks – England

• Joe Root – The right-hander had a disappointing 2023 Cricket World Cup in India and he will be determined to show he can still influence games at this level in India in this Test.
• Mark Wood – The 34 year old right-arm fast bowler will be used in short sharp spells by his captain. His injury record is good over the last two years and he has the ability to bowl at a serious pace.

IND vs ENG Probable Winners:

There is plenty of excitement surrounding this Test series, and despite the absence of England’s exciting Harry Brook and one of the all-time greats in Virat Kohli, some of the world’s best Test cricketers will be on display. However, the pitch is likely to be very spin friendly, giving India a significant advantage. England will undoubtedly play an attacking style of cricket, but we predict India to win in Hyderabad. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
