England vs India 2018: India-England Combined Test XI

Fast Bowlers

James Anderson & Stuart Broad

The lethal English duo

How many teams in the world have the opportunity to play their highest and second highest wicket-taker in the same team? Having 957 Test wicket between themselves, James Anderson & Stuart Broad would be strike bowlers of the combined XI.

Anderson has always been a genius of swing bowling and Broad has come a long way from the Yuvraj incident. They are probably England's strongest hope of containing the Indian line-up. Should they get going, it is going to very tough for the visitors.

Twelveth Man

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya would be looking to cement his role in the Test team

Hardik Pandya was pretty unlucky to miss out on the XI. However, his evolution has been nothing short of a fairy tale and he would be crucial for India's chances in England.
