Second test from today in Pune
The third match of the ongoing three-match Test series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from Thursday.

Now the host team wants to level the series 1-1 by winning the next match. The question of which players will Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir give a chance in this match is troubling everyone.

Will Gill's arrival increase the problems for KL and Sarfaraz?
Indian team's star batsman Shubman Gill was out of the last match due to injury. He is currently fit and ready to return. It is known that Sarfaraz Khan has got a chance in place of the young batsman in the Bengaluru Test. He took full advantage of the opportunity and scored 150 runs in the second innings after being out for one wicket in the first innings. This was also the first century of his Test career. In this way the right-handed batsman has confirmed his place in the team. Now the question is that if both Gill and Safraz get a chance, what will happen to KL Rahul?

KL did not bat in the last match
Actually, the wicketkeeper batsman could not show anything special in the first match. After being out for zero runs in the first innings, he could score only 12 runs in the second innings. After this he also had to face a lot of criticism. In such a situation, it is believed that the captain can rest him in this match. In his place, Sarfaraz Khan can bat at number six.
