The England vs India Test series is poised at a very interesting point. After England won the 1st Test at Leeds, India staged a supreme comeback and copped the 2nd Test at Edgbaston. The 3rd Test match at Lord’s was a humdinger and England narrowly managed to scrape out a win.
Shubman Gill and co. would be looking to stage a comeback and bring the series back to level terms at Old Trafford. Mind you, the job will not be easy as England look brutal and ferocious.
The Indian cricket team might miss the services of Jasprit Bumrah as he might be given rest for workload management. In that case, the likes of Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna need to take up ownership and responsibility.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 fantasy captain choices for the 4th Test match between India and England:
1. Akash Deep (India)
Making a bowler a captain in fantasy cricket is always a huge risk but, in this case, Akash Deep can yield a lot of benefits. Akash Deep has been in scintillating form in the ongoing ENG vs IND series and can be a great captain choice.
Akash Deep had taken 10 wickets in the 2nd Test match and he can replicate the same magic in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
2. Ben Stokes (England)
One of the finest all-rounders of all-time, Ben Stokes can be a perfect captain for your fantasy team in the 4th Test match. We got a glimpse on Day 5 at Lord’s that Ben Stokes values his stocks as a bowler and he can bowl several overs in the 4th Test match.
Ben Stokes is a fantastic batter and can single-handedly change the course of the game as well.
3. Shubman Gill (India)
Making Shubman Gill as the captain of your fantasy side can be a fantastic choice! With 607 runs under his belt, Gill is presently the leading run-scorer of this series.
He is presently averaging 101.16 and is an embodiment of consistency and class. Making Gill as your captain can be an extremely smart choice.
