Ashwin further said- In a country like India, where we talk about cricket at every corner and consider sports as a religion. I think when we criticize too much we get caught up in unnecessary things.

SA vs IND: Why were R Ashwin and Shardul Thakur out of Cape Town Test?

RSA v IND (Photo Source: Getty Images) The second test match between India and South Africa is being played from today at Newlands, Cape Town. Where the host team won the toss and decided to bat first. Two changes were made by India in this match, in which Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur have been dropped from the playing eleven. Let us tell you that spin maestro Ashwin had taken only one wicket in the first Test in Centurion. Whereas Shardul Thakur took the important wicket of Dean Elgar, but he proved to be very expensive. Ravindra Jadeja has been included in place of Ashwin, while Mukesh Kumar has been included in place of Shardul. In the first test, Shardul failed to perform well with both ball and bat. Whereas Jadeja has played only one Test in South Africa and took six wickets in that match. It has often been seen that the team management shows confidence in Jadeja rather than Ashwin, as the left-arm spinner is considered as an experienced batsman. Famous Krishna managed to retain his place Captain Rohit Sharma was seen spending time with Mukesh Kumar during training and since then there was every possibility of him being included in the playing eleven. However, Prasidh Krishna did not perform well in the Centurion Test and it was believed that Mukesh could play in his place, but Prasidh managed to retain his place. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the second Test with a hamstring injury, while Gerald Coetzee has also been ruled out with inflammation in his pelvis. On the other hand, Tristan Stubbs made his debut. Also read- Virat Kohli shines in ICC Test Rankings, jumps four places, only Indian batsman in top-10

The most disappointing thing for the Indian team is that apart from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, no other batsman is in form at the moment. Not only this, the team’s bowlers have also failed to bowl well. After the end of the first Test, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma had said that apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no other bowler was able to bowl well. At present, both the teams will have their eyes on the second test match which is starting from January 3.
