So, here is the most Predicted playing 11 of team India for the 5th Test.
The Openers
KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal will open the innings for Team India without any doubt.
Both of them are in brilliant form in this series especially Rahul who has already scored a hundred and a superb half-century in this series.

Agarwal is also in a good form but unfortunately, he failed to convert his good starts into big hundreds in the series.
Middle-order

Pujara hasn’t been in great form from the last two years but he played a handy knock alongside Rahane in the second Test match.
The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli will be looking to start 2022 superbly by scoring a big hundred in this match as 2021 was a very bad year for him.
Rishabh Pant will be the wicketkeeper for the India in the 3rd match but he will be under huge pressure to score runs without playing a loose shot.
All-rounders
Shardul Thakur and Ravichandran Ashwin will be the all-rounders for Team India in the 3rd Test.
Thakur has bowled a magnificent spell of bowling in the second Test match, he picked up a record 7 wicket haul at the Johannesburg.
Ashwin has only picked up 2 wickets in the series so far but India needs him not only in the bowling department but also in the batting department.
Ashwin is a handy number 7 batter in Test cricket.
Fast Bowling department
Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, and Ishant Sharma will lead India’s fast bowling department.
Bumrah is bowling brilliantly in this series so far but unfortunately, he hasn’t picked up many wickets.
Shami bowled superbly in the 1st Test match and helped his side to win the match.
The fast bowling lineup will become more stronger after the addition of the experienced Ishant Sharma in the side.
