India Playing XI For The 2nd Test: The Indian Cricket Team has announced their 11-man squad for the upcoming second Test match against England. While the structure of the team remains similar, there are three changes compared to the team from the 1st Test.
Today is the start of the second of the five England vs India Test matches of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The match is being played at Edgbaston in Birmingham and saw England win the toss and decide to bowl first.
India Playing XI For The 2nd Test
At the toss, Indian Cricket Team captain Shubman Gill announced his 11-man squad for this Test match, and it is an interesting bunch that will represent the Men in Blue in this match. While the overall structure of the team remains somewhat similar, there are a couple of significant changes compared to the squad from the first match of the series.
There are no changes at the top. Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the batting for India alongside KL Rahul. While the Indians lost the match, both scored tons in the first Test.
The first big change comes at number 3. Sai Sudharsan, who made his Test debut in the first game of this series, did not do well on his first outing for India in the whites. He is out of the squad, and in comes Washington Sundar, who will bat a little lower down the order, bringing Karun Nair to No. 3.
Then comes captain Shubman Gill, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, three men who played in the first Test as well. Sundar is next, followed by the next change in the squad. Nitish Kumar Reddy replaces Shardul Thakur, who was quite underwhelming in the first Test.

India playing XI for the 2nd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Shami, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna.
