IND vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for 2nd Test Match, India vs England, 13th February

IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: The 2nd Test match of the England Tour of India 2021 between India and England will start from February 13. The England team won the 1st test match by 227 runs and would be upbeat ahead of the 2nd test match. The team’s ace bowlers, Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the match due to elbow injury and Anderson will not play due to the team’s rotation policies. The surprise exclusion has been Bess, who will be replaced by Moeen Ali and Ben Foakes will replace Jos Buttler. The form of Joe Root would surely delight the team, and he will surely hoping to maintain the same form. While Sibley and Burns can give a good opening stand to the team. The spinner, Leach, and Broad will be important for the visitors to take key wickets of the opposition batsmen.
The Indian team was not quite upto the mark in both the departments and will try to replicate the performances of the Australian series. Axar Patel will make his test debut which could strengthen the team. In the 1st innings, Pant and Pujara showed resilience to support the team in crucial situations. In both innings, Gill had a good start but could not convert it into a high score. While Virat contributed in the second innings which was not enough for evading the loss by a big margin. The bowlers, Ashwin and Bumrah were impressive but could not pick quick wickets in the pitch which was supporting the batsmen.
