Who will be the Highest scorers in the upcoming ENG-IND series?

[Serpico]

Last time it was Kohli for India and Buttler for England. Can Kohli repeat his monster series? Will we get a new star this time? 

 

 

[Serpico]

Root was the highest scorer for England 2014 series. Given that he ia in great form this year and already scored a double against us, can he repeat this performance? 

 

 

[Lord]

Rohit for India

 

Root for England

[QuarantineTormentino]

India - Pant

England - Stokes/Root (shared)

[CodeOfWisden]

KL Rahul is my pick this time

 

1.Rahane will play two good knocks, one small fifty and the other 80ish score(if we are lucky it might turn out to be a hundred) but that's it. 

 

2.Rohit - these are probably the most challenging conditions for a batsman like him, even if he plays out the first 15 overs he usually loses concentration after that which won't be enough to become the highest scorer also the duke ball starts swinging even more heavily after 12 overs, so all in all, even regular 30+ scores will be good enough. 

 

3.Pujji- the kind of form he is in, I expect him to lose his spot in the team mid way through the tour, can't score against spinners these days which used to be his strength. 

 

4.Kohli - It will either be boom or bust for him, he used to be a great batsman and  ATG batsman usually don't lose it at 33 so there's a good probability that he might turn it around this time but i dont think there's any middle ground here either great or yet another 2014 repeat. 

 

5.Pant - Will score impactful runs but won't be the highest scorer comes at no. 6 and also these conditions aren't best suited to his game but still he will definitely score well in the later part of the series.(Oval and Manchester probably)

KL Rahul looks like the one. 

For England I am going with Zak Crawley..  He will love that fact that India don't have swing bowlers. 

 

[sage]

definitely will be rohit. he was already our top scorer in the WTC final.

rohit doesn't play big knocks overseas at best can score 40s and 50s i guess.

[Nikola]

Rahul or Kohli

Root or Stokes

 

Doubt it will be someone from top 3 for both the sides.

[cricketfan28]

It will be Kohli again.

[adi B]

Pant for India 

Stokes for England

[Bigg Brother]

Pujara for India 

 

 

[Dery]

Kohli is more interested in sightseeing 

[figo6762]

Root and Pant … 

 

pant and jadeja will get a lot of match time .. no confidence in top order 

[The Realist]

Cheerleader.

 

Bottles consumed > Runs scored

[Nikola]

I forgot that stokes has really bad record against us. Root won't score big if our bowlers get movement.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Ind - KL or pant 

Eng -crawley or hameed or who knws our blood sucker sam curran

[R!TTER]

Anyone not named Kohli, I have a feeling Haseeb bhai will do a Cook - we really have a bad habit of making heroes out of chumps like Moen/Panesar et al.

Pant is a GAMBLE and i feel england team would have done some serious planning against Pant. 

 

if Pant suceeds against ENGLAND in test as a batsman, i will be most impressed. I hope mottu pant also improves on his wicket keeping. i think ishan kishan is a better keeper than Pant.
