With the return of Shubman Gill, whose card will be cut in the second test? Sarfaraz Khan's century increased Rohit Sharma's headache

IND vs NZ, Bengaluru Test: The first match of the three-match Test series between Team India and New Zealand is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, which started from October 17 instead of October 16 due to rain. The team's star batsman Shubhman Gill was not available for selection in this match due to neck spasm problem. In his absence, Sarfaraz Khan was successful in making a place in the playing 11, who also took full advantage of the opportunity. However, now it is worth thinking that with the return of Gill, which player will be removed from the playing 11 in the second test.

Rohit Sharma's tension increased due to Sarfaraz Khan's century

Sarfaraz Khan could not even open his account in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test, due to which he was criticized. However, in the second innings he regained his rhythm and played a tremendous inning of 150 runs. This innings is increasing Rohit's tension. If Sarfaraz's bat had remained calm in the second innings also, Rohit would have easily included Gill in the playing 11 in the second match by removing him.

But now if Sarfaraz Khan drops in the second test, then it is certain that Rohit Sharma as well as the team management will be ridiculed. In such a situation, any one of Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja can be eliminated from the second test. Jaiswal was able to score 13, 35 runs in both the innings respectively. During the second innings, he was out for playing a childish shot, which was not needed at all at that time.

Veteran right-handed batsman KL Rahul is not able to live up to the trust shown by the team management. Rahul was out for zero in the first innings, while in the second innings only 12 runs came off his bat. He left the team in the middle and returned to the pavilion. He never had a better opportunity than this to prove himself.

Left-handed all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets during New Zealand's first innings. But his bat remained silent in the match. He was successful in scoring a total of 5 runs in both the innings. In this way, looking at Jadeja's performance, it seems that his card may also be cut from the second Test after Gill's return.
