Let us tell you that the third Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. So far, the New Zealand team is ahead 2-0 in the three-match Test series. The first Test between these two teams was played in Bengaluru in which New Zealand won. Not only this, even in the second test match played in Pune, Team India failed to show good performance. Talking about Jasprit Bumrah, he participated in both these test matches against New Zealand. Not only this, Jasprit Bumrah was also seen performing brilliantly in the two-match Test series played against Bangladesh. Jasprit Bumrah will have to play an important role in his team’s victory by performing well in the third Test match against New Zealand. However, according to Dinesh Karthik, he should be rested in the third Test because Bumrah’s role will be more important in the five-match Test series against Australia. The five-match Test series between Australia and India is starting from November 22. Dinesh Karthik told Cricbuzz, ‘There is no doubt that Jasprit Bumrah needs rest. Mohammad Siraj should be included in the team in his place. Apart from this, there should be no other changes according to me. If a player is injured then it is a different matter. I am not able to understand at all what will be the playing XI of Team India in the third test?: Dinesh Karthik The former player further said, ‘The defeat is very heavy in my mind. I am not able to think at all what will be the playing XI of Team India in the third test? This is a very short notice but I would like to say that Bumrah should be rested and Siraj should be included back in the team. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win the third Test against New Zealand. Not only this, Team India will also have to win the match by a long margin in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

IND vs NZ: Dinesh Karthik spoke big about Gautam Gambhir’s strategy in the Bengaluru Test, know what he said?
In this test match, India’s first innings was reduced to just 46 runs. Dinesh Karthik and Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter In the absence of Shubman Gill, India had to make some changes in its batting order in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In the match, it was decided to send experienced batsman Virat Kohli at number 3 and Sarfaraz Khan, who replaced Gill, at number 4. However, this strategy of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir could not show anything special. Kohli was out without scoring any runs in 9 balls in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test match. On the other hand, former wicketkeeper batsman and Dinesh Karthik, who played with Kohli in RCB, has given a big statement regarding this decision of the Indian management. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz – I am not defending Virat Kohli, he has the temperament and technique like some of the great batsmen who have played so far. If I make any changes it is because I am confident that that player will perform well there, not because I want to save Virat Kohli. He plays at number 4 in Tests. He opens 3 times in every ODI and T20 match. Now you can say the ball is different, it is not rotating as much, 100 per cent, where is the best position for Virat Kohli in Test cricket, he is just number four. Virat Kohli is also commendable. He could have easily said, no, let me bat at number four, because you can keep KL Rahul or Sarfaraz Khan at number three. The coach would have said, OK, I will manage that conversation. The fact that he went to bat at number 3 shows his (serious) mindset.
