IND vs ENG Dream11 Top Picks
Hardik Pandya: The return of Hardik Pandya the all-rounder is heartening for all Indian cricket fans. He became the first cricketer to pick 4 wickets and score a 50 in a T20I innings last match. Performances like these show just how indispensable he is when going at full tilt and will be keen on carrying this form into the next few games.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: In swinging and seaming conditions, there are not many who come par with Bhuvneshwar Kumar. His first over set up and dismissal of Jos Buttler was a treat to watch. The pitch at Edgbaston will offer assistance in the beginning and he will threaten both edges of the batters.

IND vs ENG Dream11 Match Prediction: Who Will Win?
The Indian Team under Rohit Sharma has won 13 consecutive T20Is. They’re looking like a well-oiled unit and the return of Hardik’s bowling form bodes well for them but you can only discount this England team at your own peril. Odds well stacked in favor of the visitors but the hosts are known to play best when their backs are against the wall.
