IND vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s India Vs England 4th Test In Ranchi, 930AM IST, February 23

Today, another exciting game of cricket starts in Ranchi as fourth Test between India and England is going to take place in the hometown of cricketing legend MS Dhoni. With the series standing at 2-1 in favor of India, the stage is primed for an intense battle as England strives to level the series. The third Test in Rajkot saw India dominate, clinching victory by a staggering 434-run margin. Indian youngsters stepped in in that match with Yashasvi Jaiswal smashing back-t-back double hundreds as Sarfaraz Khan hit fifties in both the innings on his debut. Not to forget, the brilliance of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as well and how good was Ravindra Jadeja with both bat and ball.

In a pre-match announcement, England disclosed their playing 11, with Ollie Robinson stepping in for Mark Wood in the pace department, and Shoaib Bashir replacing Rehan Ahmed. India, on the other hand, is yet to unveil its lineup at the toss. However, it's evident that KL Rahul's absence persists due to injury, while Jasprit Bumrah is rested for at least one Test. Either Mukesh Kumar or Akash Deep is expected to fill Bumrah's spot, while Rajat Patidar retains his position in Rahul's absence.

Unless conditions heavily favor spin, the rest of India's lineup is likely to remain unchanged. Despite having three quality spinners in R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav, and the potential inclusion of Axar Patel, maximizing overs from the fourth-choice spinner could prove challenging. The strategies adopted by both teams promise to add intrigue to the contest. 

Ben Stokes, England captain, had a look at the Ranchi surface and said that he had no clue what the nature of the track was as he had not seen anything like that in his life. As far as Dream11 prediction is concerned, pick your team only by looking at the players available and the injury list. As far as England are concerned, Mark Wood and Rehan Ahmed have been replaced by Ollie Robinson and Shoaib Bashir. There are no injury concerns in the England camp. 

As written earlier, no Rahul for India and Bumrah. Choose Indian players only after the toss as their playing 11 will be announced then only. Check England's playing 11 below, which they announced yesterday.
