Fans are even demanding the ouster of Virat Kohli, who is struggling with poor form. By the way, some players may also get rest in the third test. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is prominent in this.
The third test match between India and New Zealand is to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Test matches are returning here after years. Although it is quite easy to score runs in Mumbai, but the thing to be seen is what kind of pitch has been prepared for the test match.
Talking about India’s playing eleven in the third test match, captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are sure to start the innings. After this, Shubman Gill will also be seen playing at number three. At the same time, Virat Kohli is also certain to play at number four.
Some changes may be seen in the middle order. Sarfaraz Khan can be seen playing at number five. Rishabh Pant can be rested in this test match. Dhruv Jurel may get a chance in his place.
