????️ What Makes Lord’s Pitch So Special?

Lord’s has something most grounds don’t—a natural slope that changes the way the ball moves. It favors bowlers who can swing the ball and challenges batters, especially in the early hours of Day 1.

Here’s what you can expect:

Day 1: Early swing and seam—fast bowlers love it.
Day 2 & 3: Best time to bat—less movement, easier to score.
Day 4 & 5: If the pitch dries, spinners can start to get help from the rough.

So, who do you pick in your Vision11 team? Let’s reveal the top players we’re calling "Predicted Invincibles" based on the pitch, form, and roles.

???????? India’s Predicted Invincibles

✅ 1. Shubman Gill – Top-Order Batter

Gill has shown calmness and control at the top. If he gets through the early swing, he can bat big.

Fantasy Reason: Good vice-captain pick if India bats on Day 2 or 3. Big run-scorer potential.

✅ 2. Mohammed Siraj – Seam Bowler

Siraj is made for conditions like Lord’s—he bowls with fire and movement.

Fantasy Reason: Early wickets = high points. Solid captain option if India bowls first.

✅ 3. Ravindra Jadeja – All-Rounder

Whether it’s with the ball, bat, or in the field—Jadeja’s impact is always felt.

Fantasy Reason: Reliable all-rounder. Even if he doesn’t get turn, he’ll contribute with the bat.

✅ 4. Rishabh Pant – Wicketkeeper

Fearless batting and quick hands behind the stumps make him a fantasy favorite.

Fantasy Reason: Bonus points from catches, stumpings, and his aggressive batting style.

???? England’s Predicted Invincibles

✅ 1. Joe Root – Middle-Order Batter

Mr. Dependable for England. Great technique for swinging deliveries and thrives at home.

Fantasy Reason: Potential anchor innings = big fantasy returns.

✅ 2. Ben Stokes – Captain & All-Rounder

Whether the team is struggling or soaring, Stokes finds a way to make a difference.

Fantasy Reason: Double impact player. Perfect for captain or vice-captain slot.

✅ 3. Ollie Robinson – Fast Bowler

Often flies under the radar but always delivers in English conditions.

Fantasy Reason: Economical, disciplined, and wicket-taking ability—great fantasy value.

✅ 4. Jonny Bairstow – Wicketkeeper-Batter

Explosive and experienced, Bairstow can shift momentum in one session.

Fantasy Reason: Comes in when the ball’s a bit older—great batting opportunity + keeper points.
