The England vs India, 3rd Test is all set to start from July 10 at the iconic Lords Cricket Ground with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah confirmed to return back in the playing XI. But one of the dilemmas for Indian Team will be who goes out?. In the last test at Edgbaston, Akashdeep came in as the replacement of Bumrah and he put up an extraordinary show with a 10 wicket haul.

Who Will Get Dropped?
It is likely that Prasidh Krishna will be out of the playing XI in the upcoming Test at Lords as Akashdeep’s last performance is likely to get him a spot. With the strong form Akashdeep has shown with Siraj in the last Test and now the addition of Jasprit Bumrah, India’s pace attack looks more lethal. Hence, there are high chances that Prasidh Krishna will be benched for 3rd Test.
