England vs India 2018, 4th Test: India's Predicted XI

All-rounders

Hardik Pandya

There is no point now in questioning Hardik Pandya's presence in the starting XI courtesy of his maiden five-wicket haul in the first innings that annihilated England's batting order and a commendable 52 in the latter half of the match.

Consequently, he is a fixture in India's starting line-up for the all-important 4th Test.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin did not display any notable performance in the 3rd Test, which might have placed his status in a precarious situation. However, it would be criminal to leave him out in the cold for the coming Test in view of his exceptional performances in the previous two Test matches.
