Dream11 Fantasy Team for 3rd Test
Wicketkeepers
Rishabh Pant has had starts in all his three innings in the first two matches, with scores of 25, 37 and 22. Likewise Jonny Bairstow has had scores of 29, 30, and 57. He has been the most reliable player — next to Joe Root – for England.
Batsmen
Joe Root has had an incredible run with scores of 64, 109, 180 not out, and 33. For India, KL Rahul has been the most consistent batsman with scores of 84, 26, and 129. Rohit Sharma has provided good starts for India alongside Rahul with scores of 36, 83 and 21.
Allrounders
After India decided to go with four fast bowlers on wickets that did not aid spin, Jadeja found favour over Ashwin as the spin option, as India wanted to strengthen the batting in the light of the poor form of Pujara, Kohli, and Rahane. Jadeja has justified the decision to select him, with scores of 56 and 40, though he has yet to take a wicket.
Bowlers
Jimmy Anderson has taken nine wickets in the first two matches, including returns of 4/54 and 5/62 to emerge the most effective England bowler. Likewise, Ollie Robinson has returned figures of 5/85, 2/73 and 2/45 justifying the English selectors’ faith in his talent. M Siraj has emerged as a permanent feature of India’s bowling attack in his fledgling career. In the first two matches, Siraj has fetched bowling returns of 1/48 and 4/94 to support the main strike bowlers. Shami has taken 3/28 and 2/95 in addition to contributing with the bat. Likewise, Bumrah has taken 4/46 and 3/33, apart from scoring useful runs.
