India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Probable Playing XI: The second match of the India vs New Zealand series will be played in Pune from October 24. Both teams are busy preparing for this. After losing the first match of the series, Team India is now busy making a new strategy. In such a situation, some changes may also be seen in the next match. From the things that have come out so far, it seems that two changes may happen in the playing eleven of the Indian team. However, nothing is confirmed yet.
Washington Sundar may replace Kuldeep Yadav.
After Team India’s defeat in the first Test in Bengaluru, the BCCI selection committee suddenly included Washington Sundar in the Indian team’s squad. Although the team was already announced for three matches, it will not be understood soon why this change was made. It is believed that New Zealand has many left-handed batsmen, so Sundar can prove to be very useful against them. Not only this, Washington Sundar also bats brilliantly. In such a situation, if a change is made that Sundar gets a chance in the playing eleven in place of Kuldeep Yadav, then it will not be a big deal.
Shubman will return, and Sarfaraz may have to sit out.
Shubman Gill could not play the first match of the series. He complained of stiffness in his throat. Now it is being said that he is fully fit. If he comes, then who will go out, this is also a question. Sarfaraz Khan played a brilliant innings of 150 runs, but still, he may have to sit out again. That means KL Rahul can be seen playing the next match. Captain Rohit Sharma has already said that he wants to give Rahul some more time, he is a very capable batsman. It remains to be seen what Rohit decides in Pune, but right now it seems that Shubman Gill will play at number three, while Sarfaraz will have to sit out and wait.
Team India needs to win the next match.
The New Zealand Test series is at a very delicate juncture right now. Team India has already lost the first Test. Now if one more match is lost, not only the series but also the path to the final of the World Test Championship will become very difficult. In such a situation, not even the slightest risk can be taken. Captain Rohit Sharma and the head coach are thinking about how to defeat New Zealand. Earlier also it has happened many times with Team India that India has made a comeback after losing the first match. Something similar will be seen happening this time too. Team India will be seen trying its best to level the series by winning the second match.
