Many people are eagerly waiting for this great match. For the Indian team, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja will not be able to participate in the second test due to injuries. In place of KL Rahul and Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar have been included in the team. Now that both these players are injured and Virat Kohli will not participate in the second test, the question is arising that who will be seen playing in India’s middle order? Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan are the two players to replace KL Rahul and one of them will definitely get a chance in the second Test. Former South African batsman AB de Villiers has given his side regarding this. AB de Villiers believes that both Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan have performed well in domestic cricket so far and their first class record is also very good but Sarfaraz should get a chance in the second Test. The former South African captain said on his official YouTube channel, ‘This is going to be a lot of fun for me. Sarfaraz’s record in first class has been very good and he should definitely get this opportunity. He has scored 3912 runs in 66 innings at an average of around 70 which includes 14 centuries and 11 half-centuries. This is not a common thing. I have full hope that Sarfaraz Khan will definitely get a chance: AB de Villiers Let us tell you, Sarfaraz Khan’s performance has been very good since Ranji Trophy 2019. In the 2019-20 edition, he scored 928 runs in 9 innings at a strike rate above 154, which included three centuries and two half-centuries. After this he scored 982 runs at an average above 122. AB de Villiers further said, ‘Sarfaraz has a very good first class record and I have full hope that he will definitely leave his mark in international cricket against England.

IND vs ENG: 3 big reasons due to which Washington Sundar should get a chance to play in the second test match against England
The second test match between India and England will be played from February 2. Washington Sundar (photo source: X/Twitter) Currently, a five-match Test series is going on between India and England. So after winning by 28 runs in the first Test match held in Hyderabad, the enthusiasm of the visiting England is at its peak. On the other hand, now the second match of this Test series will be played in Visakhapatnam from Friday, February 2. By winning this match, the Indian team will be eyeing a comeback in the Test series. However, it is not going to be so easy for India. Because all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul will not be able to participate in this match due to injuries. In such a situation, the Indian team management may face a problem as to which player should be selected for the playing eleven in this match. However, BCCI has added Saurabh Kumar and Washington Sundar to the team as replacements for both the players. But it will be worth seeing which player the management gives a chance in the second test match against England tomorrow. But today we are going to tell you about three big reasons why all-rounder Washington Sundar should play in this match. 1. The team will get an extra off-spinner Washington Sundar. (Photo Source: Getty Images) If the Indian team management gives Sundar a chance in the second Test match against England to be held in Vizag, then an extra spinner is going to be seen playing in the team. If Sundar is successful in playing the second game, he will be seen helping the experienced Ravi Ashwin in the team, who himself is an off-spinner and had impressed with his bowling in the first Test match. Apart from this, there are three left-handed batsmen in England’s top batting, so if this point is considered then the management can give a chance to Washington Sundar in the playing eleven. Also, there is a lot of variation in Sundar’s bowling, so left-handed players will not have much opportunity to bowl reverse sweep.

The pitch at Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium is favorable for batting, but like most wickets in the country, it favors fast bowlers initially and spinners later. It is expected that a spinning track will be prepared for the India-England Test, but the hosts will be cautious after what happened in the first Test and last year’s Test against Australia. However, there will be less bounce on the black clay wicket in Vizag.

IND vs ENG: Dhruv Jurel is all set to face Joe Root in the second test
The second Test of the five-match Test series between India and England is starting from February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Dhruv Jurel (Pic Source-Twitter) The second Test of the five-match Test series between India and England is starting from February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Many people are eagerly waiting for this important test match. Let us tell you, Dhruv Jurel has also been included in the Indian team in the Test series being played against England. Young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has given a big statement in an exclusive interview with GeoCinema before the first Test against England played in Hyderabad. When did you get the call to join the Indian team? We were practicing that day and in the evening when I was going to sleep, I just switched on BCCI TV and saw my name on it. I was quite surprised. Every child wants to play for the Indian national team and as soon as I saw my name, all that was going on in my mind was that I am living my dream. Journey to the Indian team? Any cricketer who belongs to a middle class family has the dream of playing for the Indian team. However, when you are starting your career in cricket, you are fighting against many people, both mentally and due to lack of money. As soon as I saw my name, my hard work appeared before my eyes. I was discussing all these things with my family and sister. Importance of domestic cricket? Domestic cricket has great importance because you have to make your team win the match. We face the best bowlers from every state. Only the best players play in domestic cricket. The cricket pitch of every state is different, like the condition of the cricket pitch of Ahmedabad and that of Delhi will be quite different. We play Ranji Trophy matches at home and away where the weather is also quite different. We have to perform tremendously in such situations. What would you like to say about wicketkeeping? I like wicketkeeping very much. It feels good that the ball is coming to me. The ball comes to the keeper most of the times in the match. I enjoy wicketkeeping more than batting. Because of wicketkeeping, I have got a lot of help in batting also. When we are bowling first, I understand what is the change in the wicket and play the shots in the same way. Experience of meeting Mahendra Singh Dhoni? I have always been a big fan of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Last year I had a chance to talk to him and I asked him what’s your mindset when you go in? He had said, ‘You just play by looking at the ball. And there is no need to think about anything at all. Whatever pressure is coming is coming from outside. You have to think about how to play shots against the bowler and prepare in the same way. You do not need to put too much pressure on yourself and play freely without thinking anything.…
IND vs ENG: “Bumrah will get injured soon due to absence of Shami” – Know what Jasprit Bumrah said
Jasprit Bumrah performed brilliantly with the ball in the first test match against England. Irfan Pathan and Jasprit Bumrah. (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan believes that the injury will not affect Bumrah due to the absence of Mohammed Shami. Pathan said that his action is now perfect so he does not need to worry too much about the injury. Shami has been out of action since the 2023 ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury, while Bumrah returned after suffering a stress fracture in August last year after being away from cricket for 11 months. Bumrah was one of the successful bowlers for India, taking six wickets in both innings in the shock 28-run defeat against England in the first Test. Speaking to PTI TV, Irfan Pathan admitted that Shami’s absence was affecting the team, but also said that there was no risk of injury to Bumrah. Bumrah gave a big statement regarding the absence of Mohammed Shami and Bumrah. Pathan said, “Obviously Shami’s absence will have an impact but it does not mean that the chances of Bumrah getting injured will increase. His action is absolutely perfect now. When there is pressure from both sides, whether it is Shami taking wickets from one side or Bumrah working quietly. “On one hand, Bumrah is taking wickets and Shami is quietly working, their partnership not only reduces pressure on each other but is also good for the team.” Although the first Test was played on a spin-friendly wicket, Bumrah bowled around 25 overs on that pitch, of which he bowled 16.1 overs in the second innings. Bumrah has been in great form since his return from injury last year and is the fourth leading wicket-taker with 20 wickets. Bumrah also played a key role in India’s second Test win against South Africa in Cape Town, taking six wickets in the second innings.
