KL Rahul's card may be cut
Now if Shubman Gill returns fit, then KL Rahul's card can be cut. KL Rahul has proved to be a complete flop in Tests in the last few matches, hence his place is in the Indian team, but still captain Rohit Sharma and the head coach have been giving him a chance. Here the competition was with the New Zealand team. Except two-three Indian batsmen, all were flops, but earlier when the Test series was played between India and Bangladesh, in that too KL Rahul could not do anything special with the bat.
BCCI made changes in the team
It is also being said that KL Rahul has played his last test match. This means it will not be coming back now, at least in this format. But it remains to be seen whether he plays the last two Tests of this series or not. However, the BCCI selection committee made changes to the team after the first Test. No one is out, but Washington Sundar has been included in the team. That means he may get a chance in the second test also. But what decision Rohit Sharma takes remains to be seen.
