ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 4th Test

Preview:

This series is getting more intense and exciting after every Test. After a painful defeat in the last hour at Lord’s in the 2^nd Test, England made a terrific come back in the 3^rd Test to level the series 1-1. Joe Root is in the form of his life and has already hit 3 centuries in this series. Jos Buttler will miss the 4th Test whereas Chris Woakes is back into the England squad.

On the other hand, India has still concerns playing against Swing where they bundled out for just 78 runs on the opening day of the 3^rd Test. Captain and Vice-captain’s lean patch in this series is still a worrying thing for the visitors although they don’t have any plans to bring extra batter in for the 4^th Test. They just need one victory to retain the Pataudi trophy.

ENG vs IND Risky Captaincy Choices:

Dawid Malan in his come-back Test scored a brilliant 70 runs to put England in the commanding position. It’s worth a risk to pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Cheteshwar Pujara was fluent in the 2^nd innings of the 3^rd Test where he batted at the brisk pace and was disappointed not to score a century. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team captain.

Player you should avoid:

Indian batters played Sam Curran well in this series and gave him only 3 wickets, he averages 18.5 with the bat. It’s better not to include him in your fantasy teams.
