The Indian team has made a great start in the Australia tour. While India’s spirits are high after winning the very first match of the series, Australia seem to be on the back foot at the moment. Usually teams do not tamper with their winning combination, but the Indian team has to change the playing eleven for the second match after the first match. It is not possible to play the same team again. The big thing is that the captain will also change. But there is one more player, who can be left out of the playing eleven for the second match. We are talking about Pole Jurel. Who got a chance in the first match, but could not take full advantage of it.
Rohit Sharma will return as captain in the second match
While Jasprit Bumrah was in charge of the Indian team in the first Test match, Rohit Sharma will again be seen in charge of the team in the second match. That means one player has to go out due to arrival. It might have been Devdutt Padikkal, anyway Devdutt was only included in the squad for one match. BCCI has not given any update on this since then. There is also news that Shubman Gill, who was ruled out of the first Test due to injury, is also making a comeback.
Shubman Gill’s return is possible in the second match as well
BCCI has also posted some videos of Shubman Gill, which shows that Shubman Gill is now fit and taking batting practice. That means now if he comes in the playing eleven, one more player will be out. That other player could be Dhruv Jurrell. While Dhruv Jurel scored 11 runs in the first innings, he managed to score just one run in the second innings. However, he impressed earlier when the India A team was playing against the Australia A team.
Dhruv Jurel showed his talent in the practice match
Against Australia A, Dhruva Jurel played a brilliant innings of 80 runs in the first innings and 68 runs in the second innings. This was the reason why third wicket keeper batsman Dhruv Jurrell got a chance despite the presence of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul in the team. But they could not hold it with both hands. Now there is a possibility that Shubman Gill may come in at number three and KL Rahul may play in his old position i.e. at number six. In such a situation pole exit is almost certain. However, before this there is still a pink ball test, it will be necessary to keep an eye on which player plays in it.
