IND 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.
