Let us now understand how Rohit Sharma set the playing eleven for the second test. can do.
Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan's debut almost certain
The Test debut of Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan, who joined Team India for the second Test as replacements, is almost certain. Patidar can replace Shubman Gill, who plays at number three. Gill has been struggling with poor form in Tests for some time now. In the absence of Rahul, who played at number four in the first Test played in Hyderabad, Sarfaraz Khan may get a chance at the same number.
Siraj may be out, Washington Sundar will replace Jadeja
In the first test, the Indian team came on the field with two pacers including Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, but Siraj could not do anything special. He did not get any wicket. In the first match, the pitch provided a lot of help to the spinners. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma can substitute four spinners, for which Mohammad Siraj may have to warm the bench. Kuldeep Yadav can replace Siraj. In the first test, England played only one pacer.
Rohit Sharma can make all-rounder Washington Sundar a part of the playing eleven in place of Ravindra Jadeja who was injured in the first test. Also bats brilliantly with beautiful spin. In such a situation, Sundar can be a perfect replacement for Jadeja.
India's probable playing eleven for the second test against England
Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rajat Patidar, Safraz Khan, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.
