The playing squad of the indian team for the 2nd Test match against sri lanka has been revealed. The indian team is already on the verge of capturing the series with a win in the two-match series.
2nd Test
It will be a day-night Test match in india after a long absence. Accordingly, it is scheduled to start at 12 noon today. Thus you have to select 11 players playing according to the pitch and the snowfall. Besides, the indian team has never lost a Test match to sri lanka on home soil. They have selected the players looking to retain that record.
Who is the opening
Captain rohit sharma and mayank agarwal did not fare well in the opening first Test. However, it seems that Chupman Gill will not be given a chance for that. Once again Rohit - Mayang duo will get a chance in the opening. Being a batting pitch can score high.
Bowling choice
In terms of bowling, all-rounders ravindra jadeja and Aswin are reuniting. Similarly, Jaspreet Bhumira and Mohammad shami have been confirmed in fast bowling. But it is not certain whether the 5th bowler is a fast bowler or an extra spinner.
What problem
The Bangalore ground will be in favor of the first 3 days of the match for the fast bowlers and the last 2 days for the spinners. The Bangalore ground is one of the most familiar to Siraj through the IPL series. Shrimp Pitch is one of the most experienced for Akshar Patel. Thus the confusion only persists as to whom to take from them.
