The second match of the three-match Test series being played between India and New Zealand will be played from Thursday, October 24 (today) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. After losing the first match of the series played in Bengaluru, Team India would like to enter the field with the intention of winning the second match. By winning in Pune, Team India would like to level the series at 1-1.
The second Test to be played between India and New Zealand will start at 9.30 am. In this match, all eyes will be on the playing eleven of Team India. The Indian team can make Shubman Gill a part of the playing eleven in the Pune Test. To make a place for Gill in the playing eleven, Sarfaraz Khan or KL Rahul will have to be dropped.
Sarfaraz played a brilliant inning of 150 runs in the Bengaluru Test, while Rahul looked a complete flop. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see that if Shubman Gill is included in the playing eleven in the Pune Test, then who is dropped. In the first test of the series played in Bengaluru, Team India had played only 2 fast bowlers. The Indian team can also go with three pacers in Pune. Washington Sundar was also included in the Indian team after the defeat in the first test.
Indian team for the second test
Yashaswi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Akash Deep, Dhruv Jurel.
