3. ENG vs IND: Jofra Archer
ENG vs IND: It is not hidden from anyone how talented this right-handed fast bowler is. However, Archer’s career could not progress the way it should have due to injuries. But despite this, whenever Archer has got a chance, he has definitely troubled the batsmen with his speed and accurate line length. Archer can do something similar in the Lord’s Test as well. There is news of bowlers getting help on this ground. Archer can trouble the Indian batsmen on this bouncy pitch. He is returning to the team after a long time, so Archer will leave no stone unturned to leave his mark.
2. Harry Brook
ENG vs IND: Harry Brook’s performance has been very good in this series so far. He is at the fourth position in terms of scoring the most runs in the series. Brook has scored 280 runs in four innings at an average of 70, which includes 1 century and a fifty. This is the first time Brook is playing a Test series against India. He has proved his usefulness on the very first occasion. The way he has faced the Indian bowlers in the first two matches shows that he is not having any problem facing them. In such a situation, he can become a threat to Team India by playing a big innings in the Lord’s Test as well.

After a four year wait…
Jofra returns to Test Cricket 😍
1. Joe Root
We have placed Joe Root at number one in this list. Even though he did not play a big innings in the last two innings, he can still break India’s dream of victory in the Lord’s Test. The big reason for this is Root’s excellent record at Lord’s. This experienced right-handed batsman is at the top in terms of scoring the most runs on this ground. He has scored 2022 runs in 22 Tests, which includes 7 centuries and as many half-centuries. Root’s highest score at Lord’s is 200* runs. Looking at these figures, it would not be wrong to say that Root can prove to be the biggest threat to Team India.
