Team India: The second match of the 5 test match series between India and England (IND vs ENG) is being played on the grounds of Visakhapatnam. In this match, Team India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. In the second test match, 3 major changes were made in the squad of Team India.
Rajat Patidar got a chance to debut in this match. At the same time, in the series against England, Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid wants to exclude 2 Indian batsmen from the playing 11. But because of this Dravid is not able to get him out.
Due to this compulsion, we are not able to drop these two batsmen from Team India.
Let us tell you that the two players we are talking about are continuously becoming a burden on the team in the Test format. But even after this, head coach Rahul Dravid is not able to force him out of the team. The two players we are talking about are none other than team captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Shubman Gill.
Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are continuously flopping in the Test format. But even after this he is not being dropped from the team. Because, Rohit Sharma is the captain of Team India and Shubman Gill is being considered as the future of the team and Gill has also performed well in ODI and T20 formats.
Performance of both players has been poor
If we talk about the form of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, then both the players have not been performing well in the Test format for some time. Rohit Sharma has been able to score only 132 runs in the last 5 innings. Whereas in the year 2023 also, Rohit Sharma’s performance against West Indies was good.
