The anticipation builds as the second Test between India and England looms on the horizon, scheduled to commence on February 02 in Vishakhapatnam. After a disappointing defeat in the series opener in Hyderabad, Team India are eager for redemption. However, they must navigate the challenge without the services of two key players, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, sidelined due to injuries.

Absence of star players prompts speculation on team composition

With pivotal players missing from the lineup, speculation abounds regarding the composition of Team India for the upcoming Test match. The ?recent additions of Sarfaraz Khan, Saurabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar to the ro??ster by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) add furth?er intrigue to the selection dilemma.

With Rahul absent, Harbhajan emphasized the heightened responsibility on Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer to fortify the middle order. Both players, despite rece?nt dips in form, are expected to rise to the occasion a??nd deliver for the team.

“Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open followed by Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer. Gill and Iyer haven’t scored much runs in last 10 innings. A lot is expected from them and hopefully, they will perform. With KL [Rahul] not in team, the responsibility is now even more on these two,” mentioned Harbhajan.

Bhajji further placed Washington Sundar, KS Bharat, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah in subsequent positions, with Kuldeep Yadav or Mohammed Siraj rounding off the lineup, contingent upon the pitch conditions??.

“I’ve placed Washington Sundar at 6, KS Bharat at 7, Axar Patel at 8, Ravichandran Ashwin at 9, and Jasprit Bumrah at 10. I think Kuldeep should get the nod as the fourth spinner provided if the conditions are suitable enough. If not then Siraj should be included in the final XI,” added Harbhajan.

Harbhajan Singh’s India XI for the 2nd Test against England:

Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill,? Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, KS Bharat (wk), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasrpit ?Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav/Mohammed Siraj.

Team India are gearing up for the upcoming five-match Test series against England, starting on Thursday (January 25) in Hyderabad. A noteworthy development ahead of the series opener is the confirmation from India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, regarding KL Rahul‘s role.

Rahul Dravid’s conclusive decision on KL Rahul’s role

Dravid has clarified that Rahul will not be shouldering wicketkeeping duties throughout the entire series. While Rahul has been the designated wicketkeeper since his return from injury last year, donning the gloves in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and subsequent series against South Africa, the team management is leaning towards having? a specialist wicketkeeper in the mix.

“Rahul will not be playing as a wicket-keeper in this series and we are clear about that in the selection itself. We have picked two other wicket-keepers and obviously Rahul did a fantastic job for us in South Africa and really played a big part in helping us draw the series. But considering five Test matches (against England) and playing in these conditions the selection will be between the two other keepers we have,” Dravid was quoted as saying by NDTV Sports.
