Hard exams wait for Indian batsmen?

IND vs Eng: India have won three matches at Lord’s in the past, and now a green pitch is waiting for them in the third Test.
With the shutdown at series 1–1, this is the right opportunity for Team India to take a lead in the series, as Caravan Cricket is prominent to Lord’s house. England have made a special plan to compete with Indian batting, and have brought Pesar Joffra Archer, but the visitors also start getting ready, back to the field with Jaspreet Bumrah. On paper, Shubman Gill’s India looks like a strong side for now, but all depend on the combination they play.
That combination also depends a lot on the pitch, and if they go with two spinners or one. If they continue to go with an additional batsman, or not .. all those questions largely depend on the reading of the Indian captain, such as how the pitch will behave.
IND vs Eng 3rd Test, Lord’s Pitch Report
Traditionally, Lord’s pitch is known to support pacers, in which spinners do not have any or some help. This may mean that India does not opt for Washington Sundar in this match, in which Ravindra Jadeja is a major spinner, especially in the army countries. Given how later bowling is done, he can be seen as an additional batsman, who can throw some overs down, just do the run.
All-in-All, wicket sports a green look, which has a lot of grass. This means, wicket wearing and tears will not be much. In the first innings, one can expect a batting position, while the batting may be reduced by the third or fourth day. Similarly, what happened in the WTC final, where South Africa chased 282.
Batsman, if they dig deep, they can score big once again. So, it will be a wicket where the bowlers will be rewarded for discipline, and the under fire duke ball, finally can show us some tricks.
