The cricketing world is abuzz with excitement as India and England gear up for the Test series finale — a high-stakes encounter that could define the legacy of both teams in 2025. With the series currently balanced on a knife’s edge, all eyes are set on the final showdown. As always, experts from ReddyBook have stepped up with their sharp analysis and fearless forecasts. These predictions, sourced from seasoned analysts and match strategists at the Reddy Book Club, aim to give fans an edge in understanding what to expect.
Let’s dive into the 5 bold predictions by ReddyBook pros that might just shape the outcome of this thrilling finale.
1. Rohit Sharma to Lead from the Front with a Big Century
Despite a few inconsistent innings earlier in the series, the ReddyBook experts believe that Rohit Sharma is set to make a big statement in the final Test. With conditions expected to favor batting on Day 1 and Day 2, India’s skipper is predicted to notch up a century and anchor the innings.
ReddyBook data analysts highlight Sharma’s impressive record in decisive matches and his ability to adapt to conditions quickly. Moreover, England’s pace-heavy attack has shown signs of fatigue, and this could be the ideal opportunity for Rohit to dominate.
Reddy Book Club Insight: Historical data suggests that Rohit Sharma has a higher average in the final match of a Test series than in the first — a stat many overlook.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin to Take a 10-Wicket Haul
The second bold prediction comes straight from the Reddy Book Club’s spin-tracking experts — Ravichandran Ashwin is likely to claim 10 or more wickets across both innings. With the match being played on a turning Indian track (most likely in Ahmedabad or Chennai), Ashwin is expected to be India’s biggest weapon.
ReddyBook analytics have shown that Ashwin performs exceptionally well in high-pressure home Tests, especially when the surface starts breaking down from Day 3 onward. His variation, control, and experience could be too much for the English middle-order to handle.
ReddyBook Stat: Ashwin has taken more 5-wicket hauls against England than any other team in his Test career.
3. England’s Bazball to Backfire in First Innings
ReddyBook’s third prediction is a bold one — England’s aggressive “Bazball” approach is likely to backfire in the first innings. While the approach has often paid off, the ReddyBook pros believe the slow and spinning Indian pitch may not favor fast scoring.
The Reddy Book Club simulation tools predict that England will lose early wickets trying to attack Indian spinners. With limited success from the top order so far in the series, the risks of attacking shots might outweigh the rewards in these conditions.
Reddy Book Club Watch: England’s strike rate against spin in this series has dropped to 52 — their lowest in the last five years on subcontinent pitches.
4. A Surprise Package: Kuldeep Yadav to Outshine Jadeja
In a twist few would expect, Kuldeep Yadav is tipped by ReddyBook experts to outperform Ravindra Jadeja in the final match. Though Jadeja has been India’s go-to all-rounder, Kuldeep’s left-arm wrist spin offers a unique challenge for English batters.
Reddy Book club player rotation model suggests that Kuldeep may get extended overs due to his wicket-taking ability and the favorable pitch conditions. His variations could expose England’s inexperienced lower middle order.
Reddy Book Club Pick: Kuldeep’s average against England in Tests is 17.2 — much better than his career average of 21.6.
5. Final Session Drama: Match to Go Down to the Wire
Saving the boldest for last, ReddyBook pros predict a last-session thriller, with the match potentially heading into the final hour of Day 5. Given how tightly contested the series has been, and with weather and pitch deterioration both playing roles, a result might not be visible until the dying minutes.
ReddyBook weather forecasters also suggest intermittent cloud cover on Day 4 and 5, which could help fast bowlers and provide late movement — adding more unpredictability to the game.
Reddy Book Club Forecast: Expect a result-oriented match with a slim 10-15 overs margin in the final session — a dream for Test match lovers.
