IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction for England tour of India 2023 3rdTest, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

The third Test will begin in Rajkot at the Saurashtra Cricket Association(SCA) between India and England. The series is currently levelled 1-1 and both sides will be looking to get the lead in the series in this upcoming Test. It was England who came out on top in the beginning, but it was the Indians who were the dominant force in the second game. Ben Stokes and Rohit Sharma will be ready for another battle in the series between two teams who have been at their best. The series is still alive and it will be interesting to see which team come out on top this time.

The England team had their fair share of problems in the beginning with Jack Leach missing the series due to injury. However, India has had some shockers as well with Virat Kohli and KL Rahul being absent as well. Some talented players can replace them, but it will be a huge task for them to replace these two heavyweights. All eyes will be on this Test match with both teams having some match winners in their squads. This match will not decide the series, but will surely give the advantage to the team who will come out on top.

Pitch report

The pitch at Rajkot seems to be another surface that will not be the classic rank-turner. This ground has been one of the venues where big scores are put on the board. There is no guarantee that this will be slow and low surface as well. The surface is known as a classic red soil wicket, which will at most give some extra bounce to the pacers. However, there have not been a lot of Test matches played at this ground, so there is no saying how this ground will react going further in the match. This is the perfect wicket that will challenge the abilities of both teams and might be another dramatic Test match.

India

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Khan, KS Bharat, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav.
