IND vs ENG Match Preview

India leads the five-match Test series against England 2-1 following a crushing 434 victory in Rajkot last week. England won the first game in Hyderabad before India levelled the series in Vizag. India appeared to be in trouble at the end of Day 2 in Ranchi, but they were able to regain control, dominate, and eventually thrash England in the third Test. Although they will be weaker without Jasprit Bumrah, we expect them to win again. Although England allowed a very strong position to turn into one of their most crushing defeats in the previous Test, this game begins on Friday with both teams on zero. England will be aggressive throughout the match.

Topmost Picks for IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Rohit Sharma – With Kohli and Rahul both missing, the captain needs to step up and fill the void as the most experienced batter in the line-up.
• Jasprit Bumrah – The right-arm pace bowler has taken 14 wickets from two Tests in 2024 in completely different conditions in Cape Town and Hyderabad.

Top Picks – England

• Ben Duckett – The left-handed opener hit 35 runs in the first innings and 47 in the second innings in Hyderabad and showed a good attacking technique against spin.
• Tom Hartley – The left-arm orthodox debutant had an incredible rollercoaster of a match last week and ended the game with nine Test wickets to his name.

IND vs ENG Probable Winners:

In longer Test series like this one, we frequently see a team crumble after a crushing defeat, but we don’t expect Ben Stokes to let his side dwell on their heavy loss for long. We expect England to remain in the game at the halfway point, when both teams have batted once, but we believe India will exploit the cracks in the pitch and win the Test.Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
