India vs South Africa 2nd Test will be played from Saturday, November 22 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. Team India has to win this test at any cost, because even if it is a draw then the visiting team will win the series. Indian captain Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the second test, although it is yet to be officially confirmed. Gill suffered neck pain on the second day of the first Test, after which he had to leave the field. He also stayed in the hospital for a day, although he has reached Guwahati with the team.

In the Kolkata Test, Washington Sundar batted at number three, in the second innings he performed better than other batsmen but it is unlikely that he will bat in this position in the second test also. After Pujara, Team India has tried many players in this position.

Sudarshan or Washington, who is at number three?

KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal start the innings, there does not seem to be any threat to their positions in the second test. However, the third position is going to be very interesting. Sai Sudarshan can bat at number three, the possibility of this is increasing because Shubman Gill’s exclusion from the second test is considered almost certain. Let us tell you that many veterans were surprised at the decision of not playing Sudarshan in the last test.

Captain Shubman Gill bats at number four, due to his absence Rishabh Pant can play at this position. Pant is the vice-captain and will take command of the team in Gill’s absence. In the last Test, Pant played at number 5, Ravindra Jadeja can come to this position in Guwahati.

Which position will Washington Sundar play?

Dhruv Jurel can come to bat at number six and all-rounder Washington Sundar can come to bat at number seven. After him, Akshar Patel can come at number 8, this also shows the depth in India’s batting.

Kuldeep Yadav can also play in Guwahati Test, there is every possibility of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj as 2 fast bowlers. There is very little possibility that Bumrah will take rest from the second Test due to workload management, because there is news that he can be rested in the ODI series.
