Who Will Sacrifice His Spot To Play Pujara-Rahane In 2nd Test Playing XI?

By Sahil Mathur December 02, 2021 • 14:22 PM View: 3122

"Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are one inning away from getting back to form." It's not the first time an Indian team official has said this, be it from Ravi Shastri's coaching era or the apparent 'new era' of Rahul Dravid.

After yet another not-so-good performance with the bat from India's two experienced campaigners in the 1st test against New Zealand and plenty of batters lined up as the alternatives, Pujara and Rahane have been once again backed to be India's middle order in the upcoming test in Mumbai.
