IND vs NZ 2nd Test Playing 11: After the defeat in the first Test match, the Indian team will now want to return to the winning track. In such a situation, big changes can be made in India's playing 11 for the second match of the series.
The second Test will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. This match will start from October 24. In such a situation, let us know what could be the possible playing 11 of the Indian team in the second Test.

Shubman Gill could not play the first Test due to injury, but he will be available in the Pune match. In such a situation, if captain Rohit selects Gill in the playing-11, it will be interesting to see who is left out. It is possible that Gill can be given a chance by leaving KL Rahul out.
KL Rahul could not open his account in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test. While he scored only 12 runs in the second innings. On the other hand, there is Sarfaraz Khan, who could not open his account in the first innings. But he handled the Indian team in the second innings of the first Test. Sarfaraz played a strong innings of 150 runs and took the team to a big score. Looking at the recent form, KL Rahul can be dropped from the playing 11 and Sarfaraz Khan's place in the playing 11 will be confirmed
Will Washington Sundar get a chance in the 2nd Test?

If captain Rohit and coach Gautam Gambhir give KL Rahul a chance in the Pune Test, then they have two options. First, Shubman Gill should not be allowed to play. Second, Sarfaraz should be made to sit on the bench. On the other hand, BCCI has also included spin all-rounder Washington Sundar in the squad.
But it seems difficult for him to make it to the playing-11 in the Pune Test. If the Indian team plays with 3 spinners, then Kuldeep Yadav or Sundar can get a chance in his place. If the pitch is helpful for fast bowlers, then Akash Deep can be given a chance.
