Cricket Prediction | India vs England | 3rd Test | Feb 15 – Let’s see if India can win or not.

IND vs ENG Match Analysis

After two Tests on the second consecutive England Test trip to India, the score is 1-1, with the visitors catching up after falling behind. What therefore can we anticipate from Rajkot following the thrilling games in Hyderabad and Vizag?

Now, let’s find out who isn’t playing again! The hosts are without two of their most famous hitters, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, and have dropped Shreyas Iyer. After only having 41-year-old James Anderson in their XI for the most recent Test, England will likely have two-speed bowlers in their starting XI with Mark Wood replacing Shoaib Bashir, who excelled with four wickets in Vizag on his debut.

In Rajkot, India has played two Test matches without losing. Before crushing the West Indies by an innings and 272 runs in 2018, they drew with England in 2016. What can we expect this week? Let’s investigate!

IND vs ENG Team Preview & Squads

India

The absence of two of his finest batsmen, an all-rounder, and a fast bowler, has made this Test series difficult for captain Rohit Sharma so far. He has also had to deal with a resurgent Bazballing England team. However, others now have more opportunities and attention due to injuries and the absence of more seasoned players.

Shubman Gill, who had been having a bad run, scored a century in the second innings of the most recent match, and Yashasvi Jaiswal made his first double-century in Test cricket. In this game, both players will be vital. Along with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be the most important bowler with the ball.

India Squads

India

Rohit Sharma (c), Srikar Bharat (wk), Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar

England

England would have taken a 1-1 lead into this series after the first two Tests, and even though they lost in Rajkot by 106 runs, they scared the hell out of India!

For the tourists, who have elevated Test cricket to a whole new level since Brendan McCullum took over as coach and Ben Stokes was named captain, none of this is unfamiliar ground. We have seen an England Test debutant in every match thus far, but we do not expect that in Rajkot.

In Vizag, the seasoned James Anderson made his comeback to the side and bowled a masterful show of pace. Being accurate and fit will be crucial because he only has to take five wickets to reach 700 Test dismissals.

England Squads

England

Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes (wk), Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Rehan Ahmed, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Hartley, Ollie Pope, Shoaib Bashir, Zak Crawley, James Anderson

IND vs ENG outfield report

Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot

Although you can never count on Ben Stokes’ England to play the “normal” game, we predict that both captains will opt to bat first in this Test. India reached 649/9 declared when batting first at this venue in 2018.

If any team finds itself on the field for more than a day and a half, it will be a demanding five days in Rajkot! Although there will occasionally be cloud cover, no rain is predicted. But don’t misunderstand—it will probably be warmer than 30 degrees every day.

It is predicted that the pitch would be mostly flat, favoring the hitters for the opening two-thirds of the game before the spinners enter the fray in the final stages. Over 450 will be the first-inning total on par.
