IND vs NZ (Pitch & Weather Report) After the way India was defeated by New Zealand in the first Test at Chinnaswamy, the fans are very excited about the start of the second match of the series. Before the start of this match, there is a lot of discussion about the pitch. In this match, India will want to take advantage of their home ground and make maximum use of the spinners on the black soil pitch, which the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is ready to offer. Let us tell you that the first match of India vs New Zealand Test series was played in Bengaluru where India suffered a crushing defeat by 8 wickets. After the first day of the Bengaluru Test was washed out by rain, the Indian team’s first innings was reduced to just 46 runs on the second day. After this, rain continuously affected the match and ultimately India had to face defeat. Now the question is, can rain become a villain in Pune also? Let us tell you before this match, how will the weather be in Pune during this Test match to be played from Thursday, October 24 to October 28? In this article we will tell you what the weather will be like on all five days of the test match.

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.
