Rinku Singh: The second match of the 5-match Test series between India and England is going to start from Friday, February 2 in Visakhapatnam. After the defeat in the Hyderabad Test, Rohit and company will try to make a comeback in this match. Team India’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli will not be available for this match. Rajat Patidar has been included in the squad in his place.
