The in-form fast bowler was included. When the pitch is giving a lot, you don’t need an artist bowler like Kuldeep, a tall, fast-bowling finger spinner can also do the trick.” Common sense selection. In-form seamer in. When pitch is offering a lot, you don’t need an artiste like Kuldeep, a tall, quick, finger spinner will do.#INDvNZ — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 24, 2024 IND vz NZ: Playing XI of both teams for the second test match India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah.
