England vs India, 2018: England's predicted XI for 1st Test

England Nets Session

Wicket-keeper: Jonny Bairstow

New Zealand v England 1st Test: Day 2

In recent times, Jonny Bairstow has evolved to become one of the best batsmen in the world while batting at number 6. The wicket-keeper batsman finished as one of the highest run-scorers last year while batting at number 6.

Safe to say, with umpteen spin abilities, Bairstow will be England's trump card against the spin troika of India in the upcoming Test series. Thus, with Bairstow at number 6, England will look to strengthen their batting line-up.
