NO Sarfaraz? Patidar and Kuldeep can replace Rahul and Jadeja – Check IND's likely playing XI

Ind vs Eng: Sarfaraz could be in the reckoning for a spot but could miss out on Rajat Patidar, who was added to the squad as Virat Kohli's replacement.

India is likely to play XI at Vizag

Vizag: After a heartbreaking loss in Hyderabad, Rohit Sharma and Co. trying to bounce back in the second Test in Vizag. But even before the second Test starts, there are multiple issues in the Indian camp where two big players in Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul have already been ruled out and Virat Kohli is already missing the first two Tests. So who steps in and who misses in the second test?

Team India has added Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar and Washington Sundar to the squad for the second Test against England in Vizag. Now, Sarfaraz would be in line for a spot but could miss out on Rajat Patidar, who was added to the squad as a replacement for Virat Kohli but did not play in Hyderabad.

The only chance of Sarfaraz making the XI is if Shubman Gill, who failed to live up to expectations at number 3, is dropped. Gill has not achieved a single fifty in his last ten appearances. Whether that will happen would be interesting to see.

Kuldeep Yadav will replace Ravindra Jadeja. This could be a good move as it would be difficult to play against the sweep and reverse sweep against Kuldeep.
