3. Cheteshwar Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara one of the solid batsmen in the current Indian test team will be confident to perform in English conditions. Playing county cricket would help him to contribute valuable runs while coming at number 3.
He has played a total of 58 test matches and scored 4531 runs with an average of 50.34. Pujara has performed exceptionally well in Indian conditions. His performance in test series against England during 2014 test series was not great. He scored 222 runs from 5 matches with the best score of 55.

During the 3 match test series against South Africa this year, Pujara got starts but was not able to convert it into big scores.
If Pujara plays in the playing XI, then the right-handed batsman must contribute against top quality bowlers like James Anderson and Stuart Broad to help team India post a big total.
