IND vs ENG Test Match Dream11 Team Prediction & Playing XI

ENG Tour Of India 2021, The 1st Test will be played between India & England (IND vs ENG) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Virat Kohli returns to lead the side after missing the last three Tests in Australia on paternity.

Even before the dust has settled on India’ sensational Test series win in Australia, the Chetan Sharma-led selection committee have announced the squad for the first two Tests of India’s next assignment – at home against England from February 5. 

Virat Kohli, who missed three of the four Tests in Australia on paternity leave, comes back to take over the reigns of the side, while Ishant Sharma returns too.

While the injured trio of Hanuma Vihari, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav weren’t available, the selectors opted to leave out T Natarajan, who made an impressive debut in the just-concluded Brisbane Test having stayed on as a net bowler.

Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace attack again, and be accompanied by Ishant, Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur in the pace department.
