I think we all are very excited by this young team performance and now have a chance to do the unthinkable of winning this series .

English bowling has failed in all innings thus far and they have more questions than indian team 

 

What team should we play for next test to get 2-1 up

 

 

My pick

Jaiswal

Rahul

Sai

Gill

Pant

Nair 

Jadeja

Sundar/reddy depending on pitch

Akashdeep

Bumrah siraj

 

So just 2 change one obvious of bumrah in place of prasidh and second to get sai in as a pure bat as 3 all rounder is 1 too many 

 

I think Sai needs to be made permanent no 3 

 

One more chance to nair as has looked decent at times and is wonderful in slips also can't make too many changes

Lords might be a traditional green pitch as England likely to lose, changes in bold:


KL

Jaiswal

Eashwaran (Or give Karun another game)

Gill

Pant

Jadeja

Sundar

S Thakur (A better bowler than NKR)

Akashdeep

Bumrah (Strightforward for Prasidh)

Arshdeep (Siraj might need a rest)

Bumrah for Prasidh 

Kuldeep for Reddy

 

Tempted to have Jurel for Nair and give him gloves. But Nair is catching well too 

 

Can't play 3 spinners

Jaiswal

KL

Sai

Gill

Pant

Karun

Washington

Kuldeep

Akashdeep

Bumrah

Arshdeep

 

Have to give Siraj Rest prior to his playing both 4th and 5th match.

First an assumption that Lords gonna be a fast bowler paradise.

So an average inning will be around 70-80 overs max. Much less burden on fast bowlers. 
Kuldeep won't be a good choice there in that case.

My team for Lords

Rahul

Jaiswal
Karun ( can't go flip flop every test so lets retain him and hope his experience counts for something)
Gill

Pant
Sai ( lets try him at No. 6 for this test- we need proper batsman ) or Jurel 
Reddy ( I will retain him since he can give much better value as a fast bowling allrounder and can get a wicket or two on a helpful wicket)

Jadeja/Washington ( only one of two- preferably Washi but will get Jadeja)
Akashdeep
Bumrah
Siraj

If the pitch is fast bowler friendly, would play extra bat instead of Sundar or Kuldeep 

 

Jaiswal 

KL

Nair 

Gill

Pant

Jadeja

Jurel (ek) 

NKR

Akashdeep 

Bumrah 

Siraj

It's only after 3 days so give Siraj a break 

Bumrah in for Siraj

Kuldeep in for NKR

Arshdeep in for Prasidh 

 

Rest the same. 

Not playing three spinners ..  shardul for nkr is what they will do .

Siraj out Arshdeep in 

NKR out Shardul in 

 

jai, kl, nair, gill , pant , jadeja. Washi , Thakur ,  Akash, bumrah , Arshdeep 

 

batting issue : Jofrah will be back .. he may just run through pant , Jadeja and washi .. and then we are done .. they may be tempered to play Sai / Easwaran at 3 move Nair down .

 

donkeys : Thakur + Jadeja + Washi

start with : Arshdeep + Bumrah  .. 

 

bowl Bumrah in short spells , replace with Akash . Arshdeep should bowl 8 -9 over first spell .. if things go wrong bring in Akashdeep .
