Key Players:

Analysis: Talking about the wicketkeepers, Rishabh Pant is back in form and is coming to this contest on the back of scoring a gritty fifty at the Oval. The Indian wicketkeeper will be buzzing with confidence and should be part of your fantasy side. Joe Root (564 runs) and Rohit Sharma (368 runs) are the two batsmen who should be in your side without a doubt, with the duo being the top two run-getters in this series so far. Virat Kohli and Rory Burns have also looked in good touch and could be included in your side.

Chris Woakes was the star performer for England at the Oval, showing his class with both bat and ball. Apart from him, Ravindra Jadeja has chipped in with some vital all-round contributions. Coming to the bowling department, James Anderson (15 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah (18 wickets) are the leaders of their respective teams and will once again play a big role in the final Test. Notably, Ollie Robinson is the leading wicket-taker with 21 scalps and could be the game-changer once again in swinging bowling conditions in Manchester.
