After leveling the series 1-1 by defeating England by 106 runs in Visakhapatnam, both the teams have now started preparing for the third Test. Both the teams have a break of 10 days before that match to be held in Rajkot. England is leaving for Abu Dhabi to prepare for the third test starting on February 15, while Indian players can also take a break of a few days. BCCI has not yet announced the team for the remaining three matches. In such a situation, some important decisions can be taken regarding the future of some Indian players. There is a gap of 10 days between the second and third Test and the look of the team appearing in the next three Tests may be different from the first two Tests.
A long discussion between Rohit and Agarkar
Indian captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were seen having a long conversation near the boundary line after India defeated England. There was a lot of discussion between the Indian captain and the chairman of the BCCI selection committee and probably the way forward. The Indian team had become somewhat weak due to injuries to some players and stalwarts like Virat Kohli taking a break. Despite the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, and Kohli in Visakhapatnam, the game was finished within four days.
Team India's path ahead is not easy
However, England challenged India at every step and the path ahead for Team India is not going to be easy. Inspired by baseball, England gave a tough fight to India in the first two Test matches and the team management, Rohit, Agarkar, and coach Rahul Dravid will be fully aware of this. So the immediate post-match discussion indicates that India is wasting no time in preparing the squad for the next three Test matches, which are likely to be announced this week. How serious is Jadeja's injury? Will Kohli return? If yes, who goes out? Will KS be able to retain his place in Bharat 15? Answers to all these questions will be given soon.
Kohli was not included in the team
This video of the conversation between Rohit and Agarkar is going viral on social media. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen said that the talks were about finding a way to somehow bring Kohli back into the plan. Kohli had decided to stay out of the first two Tests due to personal reasons which AB de Villiers revealed he was going to become a father for the second time. However, Pietersen said that his absence was felt in both the Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam matches.
What to Expect from Rajkot Test
Kevin Pietersen said, 'They are working hard for the comeback of Virat Kohli because he is missing in the series. Even Rahul Dravid was seen having a serious discussion with Shreyas Iyer in the dressing room after the game. Is all this a sign of change to come? Only time will tell. At the same time, former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan also believes the same. There is also talk that India may rest Jasprit Bumrah from the next Test so that Mohammed Siraj can return. Bumrah took nine wickets in Visakhapatnam and was named player of the match.
