India vs England 2nd Test match Live: India are set for one of their toughest tests at home in Test cricket for a while. With a 28-run loss at Hyderabad, Rohit Sharma-led India are 1-0 behind in the five-match series and will try to bounce back in the series with a win at Visakhapatnam in the second Test. But making their job tougher is the fact that India are missing a lot of key players. Virat Kohli is out due to personal reasons, while KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja are missing from second Test due to injuries. In such a scenario, one among Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar may make debut or both. Kuldeep Yadav is also expected to comeback and India may also play four spinners and just one pacer. Such a combination will be desperate attempt but after it worked for England in Hyderabad, don’t be surprised if coach Rahul Dravid opts for the same.
