Ind Vs Eng: India's Predicted Playing XI For 3rd Test, Team India to Field..'

After a vivacious 151-run win at Lord's, it is remarkably incredible that the Virat Kohli-led side will tinker with the combination unless they have to make a forced change. There are talks that Ravichandran Ashwin may make the XI, but that is a distant hope considering the seaming friendly conditions at Headingley, Leeds. The four-pace battery is high-on-confidence and they are set to be backed for the third Test.

The tourists already have a 1-0 lead in the five-match series and hence the onus would be on the hosts to make all the play. The Joe Root-led side would have to come up with answers at Leeds. They would be low on confidence after the loss at Lord's and hence a few changes are required to be made. The openers could be axed after a miserable outing at Lord's. England would be missing the services of their star all-rounder, Ben Stokes. Stuart Broad is likely to make a comeback.

Meanwhile, Kohli and his men would be eyeing to better their records in England. India has never won more than one Test match in England in the last three tours 2011, 2014, and 2018. Can Virat Kohli and Co. continue to weave their magic in Leeds and make it another lead? Also, India won by an innings and 46 runs when both teams last met at Headingley, Leeds in 2002.
