Despite taking a crucial lead in the first innings, Team India ended up suffering a 28-run defeat in the opening Test against England. The match in Hyderabad concluded on Day 4 after the home unit faced a batting collapse in the fourth innings while chasing a target of 23 runs. India will hope to turn the tables when they square off against England for the second Test of the five-match series. The much-anticipated red-ball encounter will commence on February 2 at the Dr. YS Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
The hosts are expected to make some changes to their playing eleven in the second Test after KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were ruled out due to injury issues. Rahul, who was one of India’s standout batters in the last match, has sought rest after reporting pain in his right quadriceps. His absence has helped Sarfaraz Khan earn his maiden international call-up.
The 26-year-old is in the race with Rajat Patidar to clinch a spot in the Indian top order. Jadeja, on the other hand, sustained a hamstring injury on the fourth day of the first Test. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav may replace Jadeja in the second Test if India include both Patidar and Khan in the teamsheet.
