Key Players
Analysis
The Indian side looked remarkable in the Test series until last game at Leeds where they got bowled out at 78. However, there were still positives to look at. Amongst the batsmen, KL Rahul has impressed the most with his performance in the series and is an excellent captain choice. Additionally, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the top picks for batsmen from the Indian side. There is also a chance of inclusion of Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the 4th Test with speculations of Ishant Sharma being rested for the upcoming game. Further, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are the top picks amongst the bowlers that can fetch some points for fantasy.
English skipper Joe Root has looked unstoppable in the series so far, leading from the front and playing phenomenal knocks for the English side. This makes him a must-have in one’s fantasy team and a brilliant captain choice. Further on, England’s batting woes seem to have been resolved with Dawid Malan and Haseeb Hameed stepping up for the side. Lastly, James Anderson and Ollie Robinson are the best picks from the bowling department of the English side.
