The test series between India and New Zealand is starting from 16 October. The first match of the series between the two teams will be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Before the start of this match, the question in everyone's mind is whether India will make any changes in this match or will play against Bangladesh with the same team which had taken the field in Kanpur. Looking at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, it is being speculated that captain Rohit Sharma may enter this match with one change.
Team India can go with one change
No changes are expected in the batting unit of the team, but there may be changes in the bowling unit. Rohit Sharma can field two fast bowlers instead of three in Bengaluru and increase the number of spinners. If this happens, then India can give a chance to Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav along with Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin in this match. If Kuldeep plays then Rohit can give rest to fast bowler Mohammad Siraj.
Rohit Sharma will take decision before the toss
The Indian captain has confirmed that India will play with at least 2 spinners in the Bengaluru Test match and can also play with three spinners depending on the conditions. There is a possibility of rain on all 5 days of the Test match in Bengaluru. In view of this, India is likely to enter this match with three fast bowlers and two spinners. Regarding the playing eleven, Rohit Sharma said before the match, 'Everything depends on the circumstances. It has rained today. The pitch has been covered. We will decide on three or two fast bowlers and our best playing XI on Wednesday morning. We have kept all our options open.
India's probable playing XI
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep.
