ENG vs IND 3rd Test Match Preview | England vs India 3rd Test Fantasy Team | Pitch & Weather Report

 India is currently up against England in a five-match Test series taking place in the UK and will be keen on making a mark going ahead. As the series currently stands 1-0 in the favour of visitors, India would be putting the best foot forward to maintain the lead. The 1st Test between the two cricketing giants resulted in a draw as rain played the spoilsport in Nottingham.

India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane said the visitors haven't decided on their combination despite Shardul Thakur being declared fit for the third Test. Rahane also said the side is not thinking too much about the conditions and are just focusing on the next match. "We are taking it one match at a time, win or lose, it is important to stay in the present. We are confident about our unit, we have been playing some good cricket and it is about staying in the moment and focusing on the next match. "We are not thinking too much about the conditions and whatever Headingley has to offer. We just want to give our best, all players are in a good headspace and it is about putting our best foot forward," he added.

The opening duo of KL and Rohit has been performing well for India so far. Their patience and skill against the new ball are also heading in the right direction, On the other hand, it will be expected from Virat Kohli to get back to scoring runs, and a century that has been long-awaited. Though an additional spinner might be expected in Leeds, it is highly unlikely that India will tweak its winning combination and hence would go with four pacers and a lone spinner in Ravindra Jadeja.

Pacer Mark Wood has been ruled out of the third Test owing to his shoulder injury and Saqib Mahmood is likely to get his Test cap in the coming game. On the other hand, Malan would be walking up in the top order in place of Dominic Sibley who has been dropped for his poor run of form with England. Joe Root and Malan will be essential for England to score some big runs in Leeds. While Root’s form has been impressive, Malan is being also expected to display good form owing to his County Championship run.

Big Statement from Kuldeep Yadav for KKR team management

Image
  Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has hit out at the Kolkata Knight Riders team management and captain Eoin Morgan for lack of communication during the first part of the Indian Premier League season.   Yadav didn’t feature in even one of the seven matches played by KKR and that might have cost him a chance of proving his credentials again.   The left-arm wrist spinner hasn’t held back while talking about his team.   “If the coaches have worked with you before and are with you for a prolonged period of time, they understand you better. But it becomes very difficult when the communication is weak. Sometimes you don’t even know that whether you will be playing or not, or what the team expects from you,” Yadav told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel. He became the first bowler for India to take two hat-tricks in international cricket. His first hat-trick came against West Indies in 2019 while his second hat-trick came against Australia in 2020. Sadly, he hasn’t been used pro
