Cricket News Desk. The second match of the Test series between India and New Zealand is starting today in Pune. The Indian team has lost the first match and now it is very important for them to win the second match. In today's match, the New Zealand captain won the toss and decided to bat first. After this, when Rohit Sharma was talked to, he said that a total of three changes have been made in the team. Indian fans were shocked once again after seeing this. In fact, captain Rohit Sharma himself dropped the player, whose fan he was for a long time, from the playing eleven. So should this be understood to mean that one thing was said and something else was done?
Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Akash Deep have got a chance.
Actually, in the second test between India and New Zealand, captain Rohit made three changes. Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj and KL Rahul have been dropped. In their place, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Akash Deep have been included in the team. The rest of the changes are fine, but why was KL Rahul dropped? Till a few days ago, Rohit Sharma was singing ballads in his praise. His century against South Africa reminds us. It was also being said that KL Rahul would be given a long spell at number six. He is a great player. But how did this brilliant player deteriorate in just a few days? This is beyond understanding.
The head coach was also praising Rahul a lot.
Before any match, the fans are most curious about the playing eleven of that match. When there is a press conference before a match, the media also asks questions to get an idea of the playing eleven. But the Indian captain has probably decided not to speculate. The exact opposite of what is said will be done. Not only this, when the head coach came to talk to the media a day before the Pune Test, he praised Rahul profusely and said that no team is made through social media. Whatever the team management thinks happens. But it seems that this time the team is made up of social media only. Because after consecutive flops, KL Rahul was being trolled a lot on social media.
Sarfaraz will have to play explosive innings again
It is true that Sarfaraz had the first right to play in the Pune Test. He could not even play the first Test of the series, but suddenly the ball got stuck in Shubman Gill's neck and he was out of the match. In such a situation, Sarfaraz was given a chance. Sarfaraz took advantage of this opportunity. It is another matter that Team India lost that match, but Sarfaraz definitely showed with his brilliant innings of 150 runs that he is the first contender to play in the playing eleven. This is the reason why when the team's playing eleven was announced today, KL Rahul's name was removed and Sarfaraz got a chance to play one more match. Now it remains to be seen how Sarfaraz performs in this match.
