India:
After a heartbreaking defeat in second test, Few changes can be made in the playing XI.
Murali Vijay and Kl Rahul have been poor top of the order. After two ducks in last Test, Shikhar Dhawan can replace M Vijay. There are also chance that Rishabh Pant can also come in for D Karthik as he has not shown any glimpse of form yet.
V Kohli, C Pujara and A Rahane will be the key batsmens. An extra batsmen can come in for H Pandya as he has not contributed much for the team most probably Karun Nair can come in his place. All rounder R Jadeja also has slight chance to replace H Pandya.
India’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah is fit from injury and will lead the pace attack. R Ashwin will be the main all rounder as he is performing good with bat as well as ball.
England:
Captain J Root has declared playing XI. Ben Stokes is back replacing S Curran.
A Cook will hope to score big as he has lost his wicket cheaply in first two tests. J Root and J Bairstow will be the key batsmen and both are in good form. J Buttler will hope to regain his lost form.
B Stokes and C Woakes will be the main players for England as both are brilliant with bat as well as ball.
J Anderson will lead the pace attack and is in good form as always. A Rashid will be the lone spinner.
IND:
Murali Vijay/S Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Dinesh Karthik/Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin, Hardik Pandya/K Nair/R Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah.
