IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction 2nd Test: India vs England Playing XI, Fantasy XI and Squads

Rohit Sharma and Ben Stokes head into Visakhapatnam with two different objectives in mind. For the English skipper it is about continuing the momentum and putting India under pressure. For Rohit Sharma it is about making a strong comeback into the series after losing the Hyderabad Test Match.

India (IND) are unbeaten in Visakhapatnam and knows the conditions pretty well. The first-ever Test at this venue was between India and England which saw Kohli’s team win the game. The loss of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul is a huge handicap for the home side. It is expected four spinners will play the test and try to bring India back into the series. 

England (ENG) will not have the services of Jack Leach for the second Test. Shoaib Bashir is all set to be handed his debut cap. The rest of the combinational could more or less be the same for the visitors brimming with confidence. Just like India, even the visitors are expected to field four spin bowlers for the second Test match.

IND vs ENG – Pitch report 

Just like any other Indian ground, the skipper winning the toss will have no hesitation in batting first. The first three days of the game will be the best time to bat as the ball will come onto the bat nicely. Chasing anything above 250 on this pitch in the 4th innings is next to impossible. The spinners will come into play post the third day as there will good amount of reverse swing as well.
