Team India will have to think something new
However, India may be forced to withdraw from its formulas tried so far. After the first Test in Leeds, India included three all -rounders in the playing XI. These also included Nitish Reddy, who is now out of the series due to a knee injury. In the presence of two spin bowling all -rounders like Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, India had the scope to batd up to number eight.
Before the match, seeing India’s practice session, it seems that Rishabh Pant has completely recovered from his finger injury and will fulfill his double responsibility as usual. If Nair gets another chance, he will be desperate to convert his good start into a big score.
