IND vs ENG: Top Fantasy Picks for the 1st Test

 It hasn’t been long since India’s historic triumph at the Gabba against Australia and it’s time for another epic Test series, this time at home. England has arrived in full squad and strength and is ready to go against a formidable opponent that has lost only 3 tests since 2011 at home. England has also been the most successful team in terms of away games and is coming from a thumping series win against Sri Lanka. This time around for the 1st 2 tests the likes of Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran won’t be available and Jos Buttler will only be available for the 1st test match.

India on the other hand, is likely to play with 3 spinners and 2 pacers. Kuldeep Yadav might make a comeback and along with Jasprit Bumrah, it might be Ishant Sharma or Mohd Siraj who would assist in the pace attack.

IND vs ENG 1st Test Gameplay

India is expected to win the toss and bat first. Complete domination from Pujara, Kohli, Sharma & Rahane is expected against the English bowlers. Archer might return a fifer but India’s score would go past 500. England will get uncomfortable against Ashwin & will lose wickets on the trot and expect Root & Stokes no one else would be able to survive for long. England will have to bat again due to the follow-on and will rattle down yet again. India is expected to win this one by an innings margin.
