Jadeja will return to the team

Ravindra Jadeja, who missed the first Test against South Africa due to injury, is considered almost certain to return in the second Test. Jadeja was seen sweating profusely in the practice session.

However, for Jaddu, R Ashwin will have to make a place in the final eleven.
