ENG vs IND 3rd Test Prediction: Preview
Virat Kohli and Co. are tipped to be the best Test team of recent years. This Indian side is filled with superstars and each of them has shown up for their team in the past 2 years. After breaching the Gabba gate, the Indians conquered the Lords. The English will be shocked by what they experienced in the 2nd Test. The game which was seemingly drifted away from the Indians in the second innings resulted in their win.
Batsmen Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara settled the early drawbacks of the second innings with poised innings of 61 and 45 runs, respectively. However, the innings from Mohammed Shami (56*) and Jasprit Bumrah (34*) changed the dynamics of the game for the Indians. Mohammed Siraj won it for the Indians with the bowl as he clinched 4 wickets in the second innings.
