The Indian cricket team has not lost a Test series at home in the last 14 years. The last time Team India was defeated by England in the Test series in India. Now England has started the Test series against India again with a win. However, the biggest problem for India is that the team will be without four big players in the second Test. In such a situation, England’s challenge will not be easy for the Rohit brigade.
In the first Test played in Hyderabad, visiting England almost won the game they lost. India had built a huge lead of 190 runs in the first innings of this Test. Despite this, England won the Test match by 28 runs. This victory will boost the morale of the visiting team.
In the second Test, the Indian team will play without star players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul and Mohammed Shami. Shami was not part of Team India from the start in this Test series. Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul played the first Test but will not play the second Test due to injuries. Furthermore, Virat Kohli had withdrawn his name from the first two Tests. In such a situation, without these players, it will not be easy for the Rohit brigade to avenge Hyderabad’s defeat.
Let us tell you that after the exclusion of Jadeja and Rahul Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurav Kumar were included in the Indian team for the second Test. However, if the Indian team goes with four spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav can be seen in the playing XI. At the same time, only vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah can play as a fast bowler.
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Avesh Khan . , Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurav Kumar.
