IND vs ENG, I'm Sure The Pitch For 2nd Test Will Turn From Day One: Ajinkya Rahane

India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on Friday said that the MA Chidambaram Stadium wicket for the second Test against England is completely different from the one used for the first Test and will turn f

He, however, refused to confirm the playing XI or even the 12.

"Everyone is in the mix. Good thing is that (left-arm spinner) Axar (Patel) is fit. I am not going to tell you who will play tomorrow but Axar is fit to play. All our spinners are very good. Given a chance they will do well," he added.

Rahane also defended skipper Virat Kohli, saying that he remains the only captain of the team.

"Sometimes it happens, there is no such energy. But it doesn't mean that change in captaincy will happen. Sometimes body language can be down especially (the way it was panning out) in the first two days," said Rahane.

He also spoke on Indians dropping too many catches and bowling no-balls in the first Test, saying that the team members are working hard on it.

"There will be incidents where catches are dropped… we need to practice hard, especially close-in catching which is very important in India. Sometimes these things happen. No one drops intentionally. Guys are working hard. They all are disappointed what happened in the last game about the no-balls, they are working hard (to ensure the mistakes aren't repeated)."
