Middle-order
Cheteshwar Pujara
It was extremely surprising to see Pujara miss out on the playing XI for the first Test, given his form for India at the number three spot in the recent past.
He was brought back for the 2nd Test and was run-out in unfortunate fashion in the first innings. He played an extremely patient knock in the second innings but was dismissed by a beauty of a delivery by Stuart Broad.
Virat Kohli
The Indian captain has been the best batsman of the side in the series so far and the only one to cross 200 runs. However, he, too, would be disappointed with his performance in the 2nd Test, scoring just 40 runs.
He will look to get back to his ominous best and get a couple of big knocks under his belt in the third Test and lead his side to victory.
