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

SA vs IND (Pic Source-Twitter) Currently, the second and final Test match between South Africa and India is being played at Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town. In this match, host South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first. However, so far his decision has proved quite wrong. On behalf of the Indian team, the best fast bowler Mohammad Siraj sent both the South African openers back to the pavilion in his first three overs. Mohammed Siraj has bowled very well in this match since the beginning and is putting pressure on South Africa. South Africa’s brilliant batsman Aiden Markram could not play a big innings in this match and was out after scoring 2 runs. Markram could not play Mohammed Siraj’s excellent ball properly and the ball hit his bat and went to Yashasvi Jaiswal standing at third slip, where he took a very good catch. After this, Mohammed Siraj dismissed the informed batsman and Dean Elgar, who was playing his last international Test match. Dean Elgar also could not score big in the first innings of this match and was out after scoring four runs in 15 balls. Mohammad Siraj gave a great start to the Indian team Dean Elgar was bowled by Mohammed Siraj. At present, the Indian team has made a very good start in this match and it is very important for them to restrict the hosts to a low score in their first innings. Let us tell you, the players of the Indian team could not perform well in the first test match and this is the reason why they had to face defeat in this match. South Africa won the first test match by an innings and 32 runs. Now if the Indian team wants to equalize in this test series then it is very important for them to win this match.

“If he gets out early”- Aakash Chopra told Team India’s plan to win the second test match.
In the first Test match played at Centurion, Elgar scored 185 runs and the African team defeated the visitors by an innings and 32 runs. Rohit Sharma and Co. will hope to better their performance in the second and final Test starting in Cape Town on Wednesday, January 3. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that if India get rid of Elgar early then they can take advantage of South Africa’s ‘weak’ batting. Aakash Chopra said that, “The news from South Africa is that Temba Bavuma is not there. This is Dean Elgar’s last test match and he is going to play as a captain. He also said that forget about runs, his eyes are on the trophy. So he will be very excited about it.” The former opening batsman further said, “I still feel that the South African batting is weak. If you remove Dean Elgar, it seems that batting is very normal, but it is very difficult to remove Dean Elgar, he does not get out that easily.” Aakash Chopra believes that if India has to win the second Test match, the batsmen will have to perform well here. He said, “I still think that if India has to do well, they need to bat well. He will have to play five seasons. The truth is that South Africa batted a little more in one innings, while India batted completely in two innings.”
Sanjay Manjrekar wants to see this bowler playing in the second test in place of Prasidh Krishna
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has demanded the inclusion of fast bowler Mukesh Kumar in the Indian team in the second Test match against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. Mukesh, who made his Test debut last year against West Indies at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, managed to take one wicket there. Manjrekar advised not to include Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna together in the playing XI and also stressed on making a balanced combination. Highlighting Mukesh’s ability to adapt to challenging situations and suggesting strategic changes. 58-year-old Manjrekar said that fast bowler Mukesh Kumar can prove to be important for Team India in the upcoming match. Mukesh Kumar should get a chance in the second test match- Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “From what we have seen in the first Test, I do not expect Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna to play together in the second Test. There will definitely be a change, if Ravindra Jadeja is fit then it will strengthen our batting. So, if Mukesh Kumar is bowling well in the nets, he can be brought in. He is more suitable for these circumstances.” India are trailing 0-1 in the series after an innings defeat in the opening Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Manjrekar suggested that, despite the failure in the first Test, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid could be seen supporting Yashasvi Jaiswal. Expressing hope of a better pitch in Cape Town, this experienced player has expressed hope of an exciting match in the upcoming match. Sanjay Manjrekar further said, “Since it is a two-match series, you are sometimes forced to make some changes. However, I do not think India will make any major changes in their batting lineup. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid must have seen how Yashasvi Jaiswal played and they will continue to support him. When it comes to batting you can’t change things with selection. You can just hope that the pitch is a little easier to bat on.” Also read: David Warner’s baggy green cap not found, forced to play Sydney Test without it

Do you want to become a great cricketer or a millionaire? We can talk about what happened in this Test in Sydney 20 years ago, but no one knows what happened in the T20 match last night.

You can be both but with a little more understanding.” While Waqar Younis said: “This is a big shock for me, because I was expecting Shaheen to be a part of the SCG Test match, because he bowled well in the last match.
