IND vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction, Playing 11, Visakhapatnam Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

In a significant setback, following their defeat in the first Test against England, India will be looking to bounce back in IND vs ENG 2nd Test at Visakhapatnam Cricket Stadium.

The loss marks a rare instance for India, as it’s been several years since they suffered a Test defeat after securing a lead of over 100 runs in the first innings. The brilliance of Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley played a pivotal role in India’s downfall, with both players bouncing back strongly in the second innings after a subpar performance in the initial stages of the match.

India has faced a considerable drop in the World Test Championship (WTC 2023-25) standings as a result. The unexpected turn of events has added intensity to the WTC race, putting pressure on Rohit Sharma and his team to regroup and stage a strong comeback in the subsequent matches. As the cricketing world awaits the unfolding drama in the ongoing World Test Championship, this loss serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of Test cricket and the challenges that top-ranked teams like India must navigate to maintain their standing in the championship.
