An injured Indian team will look to bounce back against England in the 2nd Test starting Friday in Vizag. With Jadeja and Rahul ruled out due to injury, India have named Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, and Sourabh Kumar as replacements. One among Sarfaraz, Sundar, Sourabh, Rajat Patidar, and Dhruv Jurel is expected to make their Test debut on Friday. Logically, Sundar should replace Jadeja as the all-rounder and either Sarfaraz or Patidar slot into the middle order. For England, debutant Shoaib Bashir replaces injured Jack Leach and James Anderson is back in place of Mark Wood. England will aim to build on their win in the 1st Test, while India has a point to prove after their hammering. The hosts will hope to fight back strongly in the 2nd Test despite injuries.
