The third match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played in Rajkot from February 15. The Indian team reached Rajkot for this match on February 11. The English team from Abu Dhabi also came to Rajkot on Monday. Before the third test, Team India also suffered a bitter setback. Middle-order batsman KL Rahul also ruled out of the third Test. Previously, he had not even played the second test due to injury. Now two players can make their debut for India in the third Test.
The third Test match between India and England will be played at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot from February 15. If reports are to be believed, there will be a turnaround in Rajkot. In such a situation, both teams can play with three spinners each.
Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel can make their debut for Team India in the third Test. In fact, the continuous flop of KS Bharat paved the way for Jurel. With KL Rahul out, Sarfaraz Khan should get a chance. However, instead of Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal was also included in the team.
It is worth noting that it was announced earlier that Jasprit Bumrah would not play in the third Test. He will be spared in the third test. However, the latest update says that Jasprit Bumrah will be given a rest in the fourth Test. In such a situation, he will be part of the starting XI in the third Test.
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
