IND vs SA 2nd Test: The ongoing Test series between India and South Africa has reached an exciting turn. After the 30-run defeat in the Kolkata Test, Team India now wants to make a comeback under any circumstances. The second match of the series will be played in Guwahati from 22nd November, and before that two big updates have come out regarding the team.
This veteran returns to Team India
According to the report of Cricbuzz, young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has once again joined the Test squad of Team India. He was in Rajkot with the India A white ball team, but he has been recalled to the Test team before the second Test. Nitish Reddy is a great all-rounder. He was released before the initial test, but now the team management has included him again in the squad and indicated that his role could be important in the second match.
There was a change in South Africa’s squad also
On the other hand, the players of South African team are facing injuries. Their leading fast bowler Kagiso Rabada could not play the first Test due to a rib injury suffered during training. For this reason, fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has been given a place in the team. Ngidi has returned to the team after reaching India. Ngidi last played a Test match in the World Test Championship final. In such a situation, his return is a news of relief for South Africa.
Big update on captain Shubman Gill’s fitness
Questions were being raised on the fitness of Indian captain Shubman Gill for the last few days. He suffered from neck spasm during the first test, due to which he was admitted to Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata. However, the relief is that he was discharged from the hospital on Sunday night. The BCCI medical team is constantly monitoring his condition. Gill will leave for Guwahati with the team on 19 November. However, whether he will play or not will be known before the match.
At present India is behind 0-1 and this test is very important to level the series. Now all eyes are on the Guwahati Test, where the entry of new players and the fitness of the captain can change the fate of the match.
