#3 Cheteshwar Pujara
India skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday described Cheteshwar Pujara's 132 not out against England in the first innings of the fourth Test as the Saurashtra batsman's best innings that deserve to be at the top. He is likely to retain his place in the XI.
#4 Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has been the best batsman in the series so far from either side. With 544 runs in the series - more than double of second highest run scorer Jos Buttler who has 260 runs Kohli is the lone hero for India.
#5 Ajinkya Rahane
Rahane has looked good in the third and fourth Test but hasn't converted his fifties into match-winning hundreds. India will be looking at a strong performance from their vice-captain.
