Aakash Chopra gave a new formula of playing XI for the second test, debut of both Rajat and Sarfaraz!
IND vs ENG 2nd Test: After losing the first test against England, it is not going to be easy for Rohit Sharma to choose the playing 11 for the Visakhapatnam test. Meanwhile, cricket expert Aakash Chopra has made Rohit Sharma's problems easier by giving a new formula.
Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has made the problem of Indian captain Rohit Sharma easier before the second Test against England to be played in Visakhapatnam from 2 February. He has given such a formula by which Rohit Sharma can debut both Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan simultaneously. Not only this, for this they will not need to exclude Shubman Gill or even Shreyas Iyer. Aakash Chopra has said that if Rohit Sharma adopts the formula of 4 bowlers instead of 5 bowlers in Visakhapatnam, then his problem will become easier. He said that there is a lack of experience in India's batting, hence it is more important to strengthen this department.
Virat Kohli is out of the first two tests due to personal reasons. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were injured in the Hyderabad Test. In such a situation, both of them will not play the second test. India now has only one experienced batsman, captain Rohit Sharma himself. On his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said about India's playing eleven in the second test that India is confused in its selection. This is very bad news.
He said that you want to feed everyone and make the debut of both Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan. You also want to play Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar. If you do this, you will have to play 12 players instead of 11, because then you will have to drop Gill or Shreyas Iyer. Otherwise, your team will not be formed. This is very difficult.
Chopra further said that I would prefer to play 4 bowlers instead of 5 bowlers. There will be three spinners and one fast bowler. I will have Jasprit Bumrah as my pacer and three spinners Kuldeep, Axar and Ashwin. This way I will have a left-arm spinner, an off-spinner and a left-leg spinner. I would like to leave the formula of 5 bowlers for now because our batsmen are not in that good form.
Aakash Chopra's playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, KS Bharat, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah.
