England vs India 2018: India's predicted XI for the third Test

#3 Wicket Keeper and All-rounder- Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya

The selection committee selected Dinesh Karthik as a replacement of Wriddhiman Saha who injured himself ahead of this Test series. Karthik who made his test appearance in England after a long time was aiming to cement his spot in the Indian Test squad but failed to reach the expectations.

Rishabh Pant might have to wait for his Test debut as his experience is nothing when compared to Dinesh Karthik. As a keeper, one should not only score runs but also be sharp behind the stumps.

Hardik Pandya, the all-rounder, who has not been in good form will be aiming to make an impact in the third Test match. Hardik has shown some intent with the ball but failed to score big with the bat. He will get enough chances as he is the only seam all-rounder in the current Indian squad.
