There can be two debuts for Team India simultaneously in the second test, these are the contenders
India vs England 2nd Test : Now preparations for the second test between India and England have started. The second match is to be played in Visakhapatnam from February 2. Preparations for India and England are continuing. The second match is going to be very important for both the teams. While England has taken the lead by winning the first match, the Indian team has lagged behind. Now Team India will have to win the second match under any circumstances. Meanwhile, many changes have been made in the Indian team for the second test. This is why two players may get a chance to debut. However, it will be interesting to see whether captain Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid will be ready for this or not.
Changes in Team India’s squad for the second test
For the India vs England 5 test match series, Team India’s squad was announced by BCCI for the first two tests only. But now the team has again been forced to make some changes. Actually, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who batted well in the Hyderabad Test, have got injured. Therefore he will not be able to play the second match. In such a situation, BCCI has announced that Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar have been included in the team. It is not clear yet whether all these players will remain with the team in future or will be out after the second test. Because the entire team is yet to be announced for the third, fourth and fifth matches.
Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar waiting for debut
Meanwhile, everyone’s eyes are on whether Sarfaraz Khan will be given a chance to debut. Well, it is almost certain that Washington Sundar will be given place in place of Ravindra Jadeja. But it is not clear yet who will play in place of KL Rahul. However, Rajat Patidar is already associated with the team as a replacement for Virat Kohli, who bats in the middle order. In such a situation, two players are staking their claim to replace Rahul. If either Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz get a chance, it will be their Test debut. Both have performed brilliantly in domestic cricket.
Can both Rajat and Sarfaraz get a chance together?
Meanwhile, the question is whether captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid can give a chance to both Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan. Actually, one batsman will replace KL Rahul, but there are definitely questions about Shreyas Iyer, who has played his first Test match and is still associated with the team. His performance was very poor. This is not a matter of one match, Shreyas’ bat has remained silent for some time now, hence clouds of trouble are definitely looming over him, but the question is, what will Rohit and Dravid as well as the team management do about Shreyas? Makes decisions. However, the kind of game shown by Shreyas, it must be said that Sarfaraz and Rajat Patidar should get a chance to know how these two players play.
