After losing the Leeds Test, Team India now has a litmus test at Edgbaston. The second Test match will be played between the two teams from July 2. Earlier it was not clear whether Jasprit Bumrah would be in the playing XI of the second Test match or not, but now according to the report of the Indian Express, Bumrah will not be part of the playing XI of the second Test.
Team India’s pace attack looks very weak in the second Test match due to Bumrah’s absence. But their workload management is also necessary. However, during the practice session of Team India on Friday, it was seen that the famous Krishna did not land in the net for practice and the team kept talking to fielding coaches and head coaches Gautam Gambhir Arshdeep Singh and Akashdeep for a long time and both of them also practiced fiercely. After which there are speculations that the famous Krishna will not play in the second match.
Now if there will be Jaspreet Bumrah and famous Krishna in the playing XI of the second Test match, then who will take his place? The kind of situation that has come to light is being said that Jaspreet can replace Arshadeep in place of Bumrah, while Akashdeep can get a chance in place of the famous Krishna. At the same time, in the Indian playing XI, Kuldeep Yadav can be replaced by Shardul Thakur and many former cricketers are also talking about giving Kuldeep a chance in the final eleven.
Sai-karun can find a place
At the same time, perhaps 3 changes in Team India can be found against England in Birmingham. Now, if we talk about batting, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will start the innings here. Sai Sudarshan, who performed poorly in the first Test at number three, may be expressed confidence once again. On the fourth, captain will be Shubman Gill while on the fifth will be the vice -captain Rishabh Pant. At number six, Karun Nair can be included in the team again as he is brought to the team after a long wait of 8 years, so he should be given another chance.
India’s possible playing 11 for second Test match
KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Akashdeep and Mohammad Siraj.
