IND vs ENG 3rd Test Dream11 team prediction: Fantasy cricket tips, playing XI, captain, vice-captain

New Delhi: High on confidence after thrashing England in the second Test in Chennai, the Virat Kohli-led Indian team will look to keep the winning momentum going when they take the field in the pink-ball Test, starting Wednesday. A win will take them one step closer to a spot in the final of the maiden World Test Championship.

The four-match series between India and England currently stands level at 1-1.

India went in with three spinners in the second Test — Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel — but it is safe to say the side will look at going in with two spinners and Kuldeep may face the axe.

Umesh Yadav had passed his fitness Test on Sunday and as a result, he has been added to the hosts’ squad.
