Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul will not be seen playing in the second test.
England defeated India by 28 runs in the first Test match played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. With this, England took a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series. Now the second test match between these two teams is starting from 2nd February in Visakhapatnam.
Let us tell you, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul will not be seen playing in the second test. Both these players are injured and due to this they will not be seen playing in the second test. However, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar have been included in the team in their place.
The performance of Indian team’s young batsman Shubman Gill has not been so good in international Test cricket for some time. He has batted very well in limited overs cricket but has failed to leave his mark in the Test format. Even in the first test, Shubman Gill was not able to score big.
Today we tell you three main reasons why dropping Shubman Gill from the second test would be the right decision.
1- Shubman Gill’s performance in the first test was quite disappointing.
In the first test, Shubman Gill scored 23 runs in the first innings while he was out for zero in the second innings. Gill has not been able to bat well at number three so far. Not only this, his technology is also being heavily criticized.
Shubman Gill had hit only two boundaries in both the innings of the first Test against England. In Test cricket, Shubman Gill gets worried about when he has to play aggressive shots and when he has to take his innings forward comfortably. If Gill wants to make a great comeback in Test cricket, he will have to change his batting technique.
