IND vs NZ: The Indian cricket team is currently playing the first Test match of the 3-Test series with the New Zealand cricket team, which is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In this match, Team India won the toss and scored only 46 runs in the first innings and currently the Kiwi team has scored more than 230 runs at the loss of 7 wickets.

At present, the Indian team seems to be far behind in the competition and its defeat seems almost certain. However, whether this will happen or not remains to be seen. But with this, discussions have started regarding the playing 11 of the second test and according to those discussions, Rishabh Pant is not going to be seen playing in the second test.

Rishabh Pant will not be seen playing in the second test of IND vs NZ

Actually, Rishabh Pant suffered a slight injury during the first test, due to which he is out of the match. In such a situation, there are high chances that he may not be seen playing in the second test match between India and New Zealand. Let us tell you that the second test match of India-New Zealand (IND vs NZ) will be played from October 24.

This match will be played at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. However, Pant's exclusion has not been officially confirmed yet. But this can happen because the management does not want to take any risk on them. Not only this, it is finding it difficult to get 3 other players to play in the second test.

Even these 3 players will not get a chance

Apart from Rishabh Pant, the three players who seem almost certain to be out of the playing 11 of the second Test match include the names of Akshar Patel, Akash Deep and Shubman Gill. It is known that it is difficult for Akshar to play because there are already 3 spinners in the playing 11. Whereas Shubman Gill may remain out of the playing 11 due to injury while Akash Deep may remain out of the playing 11 due to Siraj and Bumrah.

India's playing 11 could be something like this

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah.
