Ind vs ENG 2024: 3 Indian players who might be dropped ahead of 3rd Test against England
After winning the second Test match against England by 106 in Vizag Rohit Sharma & Co. have levelled the five-match Test series by 1-1. By winning the second Test match India are in 2nd position on the WTC points table.
As more games are to be played in the series both teams will be top of their game for the third match. In the first two Test games, we all saw some brilliant performances from India as well as England. For India some players’ forms are concerned and some players are looking to make their way into the squad. We can see three players getting dropped in the third Test match against England:
1. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer’s performance with the bat has been very disappointing till now. Iyer has got good starts but has failed to convert into big runs. In two Test against England, Shreyas Iyer has smashed 104 runs with an average of 26. In the middle order for India, he has not performed well in his 12 innings. He is still not a fifty in this series.
2. Mukesh Kumar
As Mohammad Siraj left out the Indian team after the first Test match. India played with Mukesh Kumar in the second Test against England. In the first innings of the second Test match, Mukesh Kumar bowled 7 overs and gave 44 runs with a run rate of 6.3. England opener Zak Crawley scored boundaries like fun against him. In the second Test against England in Vizag, Mukesh Kumar bowled 12 overs and gave 70 runs in total. In the second innings he got just 1 wicket and his economy was almost 5.20.
3. KS Bharat
KS Bharat hasn’t performed well with his bat since his debut in Test cricket. Even though his wicket-keeping skills are top-notch. He hasn’t scored a fifty in a half-century in the last 12 innings. His current form is raising questions as many players are ready to perform for the team. There is also a chance that KS Bharat will be dropped and Dhruv Jurel or Sarfaraz Khan may make their way into the playing XI
