DTVHINDIIND vs NZ: Rahul or Sarfaraz or Gill? Who will get a chance in the Pune test match? Know here
IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Probable Playing XI: The second match of the ongoing series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from October 24. For this, both the teams are preparing vigorously. After losing the first match of the series, now Team India can enter this match with a new strategy. In such a situation, it is quite possible that there may be some changes in the playing XI of Team India in the next match. However, looking at the way things are unfolding, it is difficult to guess how many changes Team India will make for this match. Let us tell you that after Team India’s defeat in the first Test in Bengaluru, the selection committee of BCCI suddenly included Washington Sundar in the squad of the Indian team. IND vs NZ: Washington Sundar may get a chance in the third test match Although the team had already been announced for three matches, many people did not understand why this change was made. It is believed that New Zealand has many left-handed batsmen, so Sundar can prove to be very effective against them. Along with bowling, he also bats well. In such a situation, it would not be a big deal if Sundar gets a chance in the playing eleven in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Talking about the second change, Shubman Gill could not play the first match of the series. He was injured at that time. Now it is being told that he is completely fit. If he comes in the playing XI then whose place will he come in? Sarfaraz Khan had played a brilliant inning of 150 runs, but still he may have to sit out again. In such a situation, KL Rahul can be seen playing the next match. Captain Rohit Sharma has already said that he wants to give some more time to Rahul. Although Sarfaraz Khan had batted brilliantly in the last match, so in such a situation KL Rahul may also have to sit out. Now it will be interesting to see what changes they bring to their team for the other test matches.

In the first test, India could not defend the target of 107 runs and in the end they had to face defeat by 8 wickets. In the Bengaluru Test, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja together took seven wickets, but during this period the economy rate of all three was the biggest cause of concern.

Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement regarding the spinners of Team India.

IND vs NZ: Five reasons which became the reason for Team India’s defeat, one decision of Rohit Sharma ruined the game
New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in the first test match. IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the Test played against New Zealand in Bengaluru. With this victory, New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. In this match, India set a target of only 107 runs for the Kiwi team, which they easily achieved on the fifth day at the loss of 2 wickets. Now the question in everyone’s mind is that where did Team India go wrong in this match and why did it lose this match, let us tell you. IND vs NZ 5 Reasons Why India Lost First Test Match (Five reasons why Team India lost the first test against New Zealand) 1. Rohit Sharma’s wrong decision on the toss. When the toss of this match took place on the second day of the Test match, there were overcast conditions. Not a single ball was bowled on the first day due to rain. At the same time, when the game started on the second day, Rohit took a wrong decision after winning the toss. India chose to bat and the entire team was bundled out for only 46 runs. Five players including Virat Kohli could not even open their accounts. Rohit himself later admitted that there was a mistake in taking the decision after the toss. Rohit said after the first day’s play, “As a captain, I am sad to see the score of 46 runs because the decision to bat first was mine. But one or two bad decisions are made every year.” 2. Conway’s innings proved costly for India After India were bowled out cheaply in the first innings, New Zealand opener Devon Conway gave trouble to the Indian bowlers. Conway played an inning of 91 runs in 105 balls with the help of 11 fours and 3 sixes. He made a partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket with captain Tom Latham (15). Conway then took over the innings with Will Young (33). Both of them added 75 runs for the second wicket and put pressure on the host team. 3. Racine-Saudi partnership Apart from Conway, Rachin Ravindra (134 in 157 balls), who came to bat at number four, troubled the Indian bowlers. Rachin made a 39-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (18) for the fourth wicket. However, when Tim Southee (65) came to support Rachin, both of them made a partnership of 137 runs for the eighth wicket. Thanks to the partnership of both, New Zealand scored 402 in the first innings. If India had managed to break this partnership early, then perhaps New Zealand’s innings could have been reduced to below 300 and perhaps the result of the match could have been different. 4. Rahul and Jadeja failed in the second innings also In the second innings of the test match, India scored 462 runs on the board due to the excellent batting of Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant…
