India led by Rohit Sharma are leading the IND vs SL Test series. They registered a thumping win over their opponents in the first Test by an innings and 222 runs. Ravindra Jadeja delivered a career-best performance in the second Test. He scored his career-best 175* with the bat and took nine wickets in with the ball to win the Man of the Match award.
The second Test which will be a day-night match in Bengaluru begins from March 12 onwards. The BCCI will allow 50 per cent of the crowd capacity to come into the stadium for the second Test.
The Indian squad has been announced earlier today for the second Test. Axar Patel has been included in the squad while Kuldeep Yadav has been released. The management feels that there is no need for three left-arm spinners in the squad with Jadeja and Patel available. Axar has made a comeback to the Indian Test squad after being out of the team since the Mumbai Test against New Zealand.
While announcing the India squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka on February 22, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had stated: “Axar Patel is currently undergoing his rehab and is not available for selection for the first Test. He will be assessed later to ascertain his selection for the second Test.”
Now with a full-strength squad available for selection, it will be a tough task for the Indian selectors to pick the strongest playing Xi depending upon the conditions. In this article, we take a look at three players who might be rested for the second IND vs SL Test match in Bengaluru.
