IND vs ENG 2nd Test: KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja RULED OUT of India vs England 2nd Test: Senior team India batter KL Rahul and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja have been ruled out of the upcoming India vs England 2nd Test in Vishakhapatnam, starting February 02. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (<a href="https://www.bcci.tv/articles/2024/news/55556091/ravindra-jadeja-kl-rahul-ruled-out-of-the-second-test">BCCI</a>) on Monday, January 29 confirmed the development and subsequently announced the replacement players.



While all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who was earlier reported to have possibly hurt his hamstring, has now been officially confirmed to have suffered a hamstring blow, senior batter KL Rahul complaint of pain in his right quadriceps and thus both have been ruled out of the India vs England 2nd test.



Ravindra Jadeja was seen clutching his hamstring and was seemingly in pain when he charged for a single towards mid-on where Ben Stokes was stationed. Stokes collected the ball and threw it towards the non-striker's end where Jadeja was approaching, but the batter couldn't reach the crease on time and was adjudged run-out.



He dragged himself out of the ground seemingly in pain, which raised concerns about his availability for the second test match in Vishakhapatnam.



Meanwhile, KL Rahul's injury has come as a shocker for the cricket fans. The batter played fine knocks of 86 and 22 runs in the two innings of the 1st test in Hyderabad.



Team India will feel the pinch of the absence of the two aforementioned batters. Their absence will enfeeble the Indian batting unit, which aims to bounce back in the second test after losing the well-poised first test by 28 runs.



To provide cover for the unavailable players, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have added the likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar to the Indian squad.



Saurabh Kumar has been a household name in the domestics of Uttar Pradesh. The left-arm spinner has scalped 290 wickets in his first-class career at an average of 24.41. The 30-year-old isn't a newcomer to the Indian test setup but is yet to make his debut. The spinner was picked in India's squad for the Bangladesh test in 2022.



In addition to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, veteran batter Virat Kohli is also unavailable for the India vs England 2nd test. Virat made himself unavailable for selection for the first two tests citing personal reasons.



Below is Team India's revised squad for the 2nd Test against England in Vishakhapatnam, starting on February 02.

IND vs ENG: India and England are gearing up to take on each other for the second test match in the five-match Test Series at Visakhapatnam?s Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. Scheduled from February 2nd to February 6th, the match will kick off at 9:30 a.m. IST. The series currently tilts in England's favor after their comeback victory in the first test, which allowed them to secure a 1-0 lead.



In the initial encounter, England showcased a dominant Bazball approach, particularly excelling in the sweep and reverse sweep shots, which proved challenging for the Indian spin bowling unit. Despite India's early control in the first two days, Ollie Pope's outstanding performance (196 runs) and debutant Tom Hartley's impressive figures (7-62) turned the tide in favor of the Three Lions, ultimately leading to their triumph under the leadership of Ben Stokes.



The Indian team, captained by Rohit Sharma, is undoubtedly disappointed with their first-test performance and aims to retaliate in the second match at Visakhapatnam. Eager to bounce back and level the series, the Men in Blue are focused on overcoming the challenges posed by England's batting prowess and strengthening their strategy against the sweep shots that caused trouble in the initial encounter.



Talking about the visitor?s playing 11 for the second test match against the Men in Blue, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett are expected to open the innings against the hosts. Both of them performed really well in the first test match as they executed their bazball approach against the Indian bowling unit to perfection as both of them got involved in multiple 50-run partnerships in both innings of the first match,, which frustrated the Indians even more. The wicket of Vizag is expected to provide a lot of assistance to the spinners, so the openers need to execute their plans successfully if they want to get their team off to a good start in the second test.



The middle order will consist of Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes, and Jonny Bairstow. All of them played crucial roles in England?s victory in the first Test match. Skipper Ben Stokes played the role of a lone warrior in the first inning with an inning of 70 runs, which allowed the visitors to score 246 runs in their first inning.



Ollie Pope played the best inning of his life as he scored 196 runs in the second inning and just proved why he is rated so highly by the English management. Pope got good support from Ben Foakes and Rehan Ahmed, as the 26-year-old made full use of the sweep and reverse sweep shots and completely toyed with India?s spin advantage.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/India-vs-England-Test-Series-1024x570.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG Test: Predicting Winner of India vs England 5-Match Test Series, Michael Atherton shares his views" class="wp-image-125459" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Jonny Bairstow was pretty decent with his knock of 37 runs in the first inning, but he managed to score just 10 runs in the second inning, so he would like to score some more runs in the second test match.



Joe Root wasn?t able to do a lot with the bat, but he flourished with the ball in hand as he picked up a four-run haul in the first inning and provided ample support to Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley.



The likes of Tom Hartley, Rehan Ahmed, Shoib Bashir, and James Anderson are expected to complete the bowling unit of the Three Lions. Tom Hartley had a horrible outing in the first inning as he picked up just 2 wickets and gave away 131 runs in 25 overs, but he showed his best in the second inning as he picked up a seven-wicket haul with figures of 7-62 next to his name?the third-best bowling figures by the bowler of an opposition team on his Test debut in India.



Shoib Bashir is likely to make his debut in the second test, as Jack Leach will miss out due to a knee injury he suffered in the first game while fielding. Rehan Ahmed looked pretty decent with the ball as he dismissed two batsmen, but he would like to bowl a little more economically in the Vizag test match.



Mark Wood played the role of the sole pacer for the Three Lions in the first test match against India at Hyderabad. But there are doubts regarding his participation in the second test match. Wood prefers to bowl short-pitched balls and does not prefer bowling with the new ball, so forcing the spinners to open the bowling with the new ball and bowling bouncers all the time on Indian spinning tracks is not a good option.



In the first test match, even though he was quite economical with the ball, he failed to pick up a single wicket in both innings. The English management might just replace Mark Wood with James Anderson, as the 41-year-old has the ability to do wonders with the ball on Indian spinning tracks, and he can trouble the Indian batters in the second test match.

IND vs ENG: England expected Playing 11 in second Test against India | India vs England 2nd Test

ind-vs-eng-england-expected-playing-11-in-second-test-against-india-india-vs-england-2nd-test

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: 3 Changes India can make in India vs England 2nd test: Team India had to undergo a series of criticism following their 1st test loss to England in Hyderabad. Despite being comfortably placed in the fixture after the second innings, Team India lost track and were handed a 28-run defeat by the team with minimal spin experience on their backs.



It was surely a tough pill to swallow for the Indians, but now the action for the India vs England 2nd test shifts to the port city of Vishakhapatnam. With already 1-0 down in the series, Team India would aim to get their acts in the right direction and level the five-match test series.



However, things aren't as easy as it looks for the Indians, who are touted to be the beast in their own backyard. With injuries to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja ahead of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test, the situation has become more complicated and grave at the same time. 



Notably, KL Rahul complained of pain in his right quadriceps, while Ravindra Jadeja was seen clutching his hamstring after he was run out, which later turned out to be a hamstring blow for him. Both the players are already ruled out of the India vs England 2nd Test. Subsequently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have drafted in the likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar into the side.



With two injury setbacks, team India is expected to make changes to the playing11. Besides KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, senior batter Virat Kohli is also not available for the 2nd test match. 



Let's look at India's updated squad for the IND vs ENG 2nd Test:



India's Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Avesh Khan, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, Sourabh Kumar.



Below are the details of the 3 changes India can make in the India vs England 2nd Test:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: 3 Changes India can make in India vs England 2nd Test</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Kuldeep-Yadav.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja OUT, Kuldeep Yadav, Rajat Patidhar IN, 3 Changes India can make in India vs England 2nd Test | India's Playing11 Prediction" class="wp-image-125978" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: Mensxp.com</figcaption></figure>



Rajat Patidar IN for KL Rahul



Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar looks an automatic replacement for KL Rahul in the 2nd test against England. Though Team India has the services of Sarfaraz Khan, the team is unlikely to have him in the playing11. Patidar is placed higher in the pecking order than Sarfaraz Khan.



Kuldeep Yadav IN for Mohammad Siraj



Team India opted to head into the 1st test in Hyderabad with two pacers and three spinners. The move didn't work out for the hosts as Siraj's selection made no sense. Moreover, the pacer didn't pick a single wicket in the 1st test and leaked runs to some extent. 



Rohit Sharma may opt to replace Mohd Siraj with Kuldeep Yadav, who brings variation to the side. He will be a more suitable wicket-picking option for the spinning conditions.



Washington Sundar IN for Ravindra Jadeja



An injury to Ravindra Jadeja meant that the team had to look at a guy who have the batting abilities along with his bowling prowesses. It could be none other than Washington Sundar, who can replace the senior all-rounder. Though Saurabh Kumar can be another choice to replace Jadeja, the all-rounder is yet to make his test debut.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out for during India vs England 2nd Test: Just a few hours before we proceed with the red-ball action between India and England for the 2nd time in the ongoing five-match test series. The two teams will be in the huddle at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, starting on February 02.



England, with an early win in the series, will be hoping to double down on their lead, while India, the hosts will look to seal the opportunity to control the damage copped in the 1st test in Hyderabad.



The 1st India vs England test in Hyderabad saw England's resilience and courageous batting resulting in putting up a challenging total, despite trailing immensely in the second innings. Furthermore, England's debutant spinner Tom Hartley shone under pressure and aided his side to register a 28-run win against India.



England will once again brace themselves for a massive challenge in Vishakhapatnam against India, starting February 02. Their win in the first test will be used as a tool to get inspired and pip the mighty Indian side.



On the other side, Team India, after the defeat in the 1st test, suffered a couple of blows as far as squad composition is concerned. The likes of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have been ruled out of the 2nd test due to their respective injuries which they suffered during the 1st test. To cover the losses, the BCCI has roped in Sarfaraz Khan, Saurabh Kumar and Washington Sundar.



Let's take a look at players to watch out for during the India vs England 2nd test in Vishakhapatnam:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: Players to Watch For during India vs England 2nd Test </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rohit Sharma</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Rohit-Sharma-Yashasvi-Jaiswal-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-125636" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Credit: ANI</figcaption></figure>



Indian captain Rohit Sharma has faced significant flak from the fans and experts for his batting of late. Though he has been successful in providing starts to the team, test cricket is not just about the starts. While the significance of getting starts is immense, a large part of the red-ball format relies on capitalising on the starts and pile-up runs for the team, which certainly hasn't been the case for Rohit Sharma. 



He returned with the scores of 24 and 39 in the two innings of the first test against England in Hyderabad. He got the starts but failed to maximise it.



Moreover, the absence of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja has significantly weakened the team, and a lot of responsibility will be on Rohit Sharma's shoulders. The way he bats will influence India's innings.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Joe Root</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Joe-Root.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-125990" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Joe Root | Image Source: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



England will rely heavily on the services of Joe Root, who has emerged as an all-rounder in the sub-continent. Root's skills with the bat are second to none, his prowesses with the ball will be crucial as well. 



With senior spinner Jack Leach injured, Root automatically becomes the leader of England's spin attack which comprises the likes of Tom Hartley, Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir. The three spinners named alongside Joe Root have little to no experience under their belt.



Root returned with 5 wickets in the 1st test along with the scores of 29 and 2 in the two innings. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Jasprit Bumrah</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Jasprit-Bumrah-India-vs-England-test.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Players to Watch Out For during India vs England 2nd Test | England tour of India 2024" class="wp-image-125991" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jasprit Bumrah | Image Source: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



After failing with a 2-pacers and 3-spinners approach, team India is expected to field the playing11 in the Vishakhapatnam test with just a solitary pacer in Jasprit Bumrah. The senior speedster was successful in the 1st test with his brilliant bowling display. Out of three pacers playing in the India vs England 1st test, only Jasprit Bumrah managed to pick wickets.



Bumrah will have the responsibility to set up India's bowling innings as he has done over the years. With no Mohammad Siraj from the other end, Bumrah will be key as he will be used often to break the momentum and rattle the opposition.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Day 2 Stumps, England All Out at 253/10, India at 28/0, Jasprit Bumrah Took Six Wickets | India vs England 2nd Test 2024 Live

IND vs ENG: During Day 2 of the second India vs England Test in Visakhapatnam on February 3, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was captured expressing frustration and using harsh language towards his teammates. The incident occurred at the conclusion of the 31st over with England at 143/4. Rohit Sharma appeared to be emphasizing the need for alertness among his fielders in a stern manner, using some profane language.



It's worth noting that India faced a lackluster performance in the second innings of the Hyderabad Test, resulting in a 28-run loss. In light of this, the captain was keen on maintaining intensity on the field, preventing a repeat of the first game's outcome where the game slipped away.



?Koi bhi garden me ghuumega to ## ####?, Rohit was heard speaking on the stump mic.

Talking about the second test, India resumed their first innings on Day 2 with a score of 336/6 in 93 overs as Yashasvi Jaiswal continued with his score of 179 runs. The Rajasthan Royals opener went on to score his first international double century in test cricket and became the third youngest batter to do so after Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar.



However, the 22-year-old didn?t get support from any other batter on the other end, as he was dismissed for 209 runs as he tried to increase the run rate. The Men in Blue were bundled out for 396 runs as the trio of James Anderson (3-47), debutant Shoaib Bashir (3-138), and Rehan Ahmed (3-65) picked up three wickets each.



Jasprit Bumrah paved the way for six England batsmen to the pavilion. With his pace, he gets the wickets of Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Tom Hartley, and Jimmy Anderson. In the face of Bumrah's lethal bowling, the England team led by Ben Stokes was reduced to 253 runs.

<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=IND+vs+ENG" rel="nofollow">IND vs ENG</a> 2nd Test: Day 3 Stumps, England at 67/1, need 332 runs to WIN?| India vs England 2nd Test 2024 Live:?The Second Test Match between India and England comes to its final stage as England need 332 runs to win the second test match at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Currently, England is playing their second inning in Vizag and at the end of Day 3, they are at 67/1 however, it is not going to be easy for England to chase such a massive target in India on Day 4 &amp; 5.



India played good cricket with bat but they can do better with the ball as England lost a single wicket on Day 3. Indian Team scored 255 runs in their second inning and gave England a huge 399-run target, which is pretty much unachievable. The Indian Youngster Shubman Gill played a fantastic inning and led the Indian Team in a strong position as he scored 104 runs in 147 balls.



English bowler bowled well on Day 3 as they restrict Indian Team under 300 runs. However, due to the poor performance in their first inning, the target is so high but if England plays good cricket they can chase the target like they did in the first test match in Hyderabad. English spinners Tom Hartley took four wickets whereas Rehan Ahmed took three wickets on Day 3 for England.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG 2nd Test Day 3 Match Summary:</h2>



After Day 2 India was at 28/0 but as Day 3 started Skipper Rohit Sharma got out by scoring just 13 runs in 21 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal also failed to give a good start to the team and he was able to score only 17 runs in 27 balls. Both the Indian openers got out early, which put pressure on the India Team but Shubman Gill stood from one end and played a superb knock of 104 runs.



Axar Patel also made a decent partnership of 89 runs for the fifth wicket, Axar scored 45 runs in 84 balls. Therefore, the Indian Team got all out by scoring 255 runs on the scoreboard in their second inning but they had an England target of 399 runs to win the second test match in Visakhapatnam.



From England's Bowling Department, Spinners dominated the pacers again as English Star Pacer <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/65/james-anderson">James Anderson </a>took two wickets whereas Spinner Tom Hartley and Rehan Ahmed took four and three wickets, respectively in India's second inning. England bowled well on Day 3 but if they could able to take the wicket of Shubman Gill then target might be quite low.



In the second Inning, England started well as they scored 67 runs with the loss of one wicket in 14 overs. However, England still needs 332 runs to win the second test match and they have Day 4 &amp; Day 5 to chase the target but it is expected that the outcome of the second test match will come tomorrow on Day 4. From the Indian Bowling Department, Ravichandran Ashwin took one wicket in England's second inning.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: In another injury scare for the Indian team, young opener Shubman Gill has copped a blow on his right index finger owing to which the batter hasn't come out to the field on day 4 of the ongoing IND vs ENG 2nd test. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the details on Monday.



Gill, who scored a sensational inning of 104 runs, suffered a finger injury while fielding on day 2 of the IND vs ENG test. He, though, batted comfortably in the third innings, which saw him score his 3rd test ton, however, the young batter won't take the field on day 4.



"Shubman Gill hurt his right index finger while fielding on Day 2. He won't be taking the field today," the BCCI said in a post via X.



The extent of the injury is still unknown, however, by the looks of it, it isn't a threatening one. Shubman Gill didn't look uncomfortable at all while he was in the middle on day 3 of the test. The batter played 104-run innings with the same bruised finger, so there could be a possibility of only a slight injury.



However, if the injury turns out to be a serious one, then Team India will find themselves in troubled waters. The hosts are already down with the injuries to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who were ruled out after the 1st IND vs ENG test in Hyderabad. Furthermore, Virat Kohli for the time being is unavailable and there isn't any clarity over his return.



For day 4 of the IND vs ENG test, Sarfaraz Khan has replaced Shubman Gill in the field.

Team India scored 396 runs in the first innings which saw young Yashasvi Jaiswal score his maiden test double century. In response to India's 396, England managed to score 253 runs. With a lead of 143 runs, Team India carried on with their second innings and piled up 255 runs, thanks to Shubman Gill's brilliant ton.



England needs close to 400 runs to win the test in the fourth innings. In the fourth innings so far, England has racked up 154 runs in the loss of 4 wickets. Opener Zak Crawley is unbeaten at 59 runs, while the other batters have contributed with runs in the vicinity of 20s.



With still 6 wickets at hand, England needs another 245 runs to win the IND vs ENG 2nd Test match in Vishakhapatnam. The visitors are already 1-0 up in the five-match test series against India. England won the 1st test in Hyderabad by 28 runs to take up a lead of 1-0.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Shubman Gill Injury Update, Not to take field on Day 4 inform BCCI

ind-vs-eng-2nd-test-shubman-gill-injury-update-not-to-take-field-on-day-4-inform-bcci

IND vs ENG: The India-England Test series is now on level after Jasprit Bumrah spearheaded the Indian bowling to hand a 106-run loss to England in the IND vs ENG 2nd Test. With a 1-1 scoreline, host India and visitor England will now head to Rajkot for the third Test. 



Jasprit Bumrah has been a go-through bowler for India and he proved it again in the India vs England second Match where he scalped 9 important wickets for the team. With these 9 wickets, Jasprit Bumrah reached his 150-wicket mark in just 34 matches.



He got some crucial wickets like Ollie Pope, Joe Root, and Stokes in the first innings, and Jonny Bairstow and Ben Foakes in the second innings. Jasprit was the most economical bowler for India in the test with an economy of less than 3 runs per over whereas others were struggling to go below 5.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Jasprit-Bumrah-India-vs-England-test.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-125991" /></figure>



Batting first, India put forth a 396-run total following the exceptional 209-run knock of Yashasvi Jaiswal. The other Indian batters also got a good start but failed to capitalize on it. The same went for England as only opener Zak Crawley was the only batter to go beyond the 50-run mark.



Amid England's innings, Bumrah bowled two just-unplayable deliveries, one to Ollie Pope and the other to Ben Stokes, that were later floating on social media the entire time. ICC also posted the iconic bowled moment on X.com. Stokes became the 150th scalp of Jasprit Bumrah. England were bowled out at 253 runs and India got a lead of 143 runs.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1753710516759908635
</div></figure>



In the second innings, India lost a few early wickets but Shubman Gill stood up this time and posted a century. 45 runs from Axar and 29 from Ashwin helped India to get a lead of 398 runs after the second innings.



A 50-run opening stand for England helped England to get early momentum. Things were turning in England's favor when Ben Foakes and Zak Crawley were batting. The skipper called Bumrah and Bumrah delivered and sent Bairstow back to the pavilion just before lunch.



Bumrah caught and bowled Ben Foakes and bowled an absolute peach to Tom Hartley to bundle up England's innings 106 runs away from the target. Bumrah took 9 wickets in the match with an economy of less than 3 runs per over which is just phenomenal.

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah Reached BIG Milestone After 9 Wickets Against England

ind-vs-eng-jasprit-bumrah-reached-big-milestone-after-9-wickets-against-england

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has provided a huge fitness update on Mohammed Shami ahead of the third T20I against England. He rubbished off all the rumours of the pacer getting injured and added that calls related to him playing will be taken by the captain and coach. 
Mohammed Shami has been keeping many wondering about his fitness even though he is part of the Indian team for the ongoing T20I series against England. He didn't play in the first match and it raised many speculations that he again has been injured ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since the 2023 World Cup final, made a return to cricket after an ankle injury in the Ranji Trophy for Bengal. He played one game in the red-ball format and then played the Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, he developed swelling in his knee, which was a blow. 
Mohammed Shami was even ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and then BCCI added him to the team for the T20I series against England. This was because they wanted the pacer to be fit completely and get into rhythm ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will begin on 19th February.
<h2>Shami is fit but something about him playing or not playing, I am not the one who can answer - India batting coach</h2>
With Mohammed Shami not playing the first two games of the T20I series against England raising speculations over his injury, India's batting coach has provided an update. He said that the fast bowler has no injury concerns and is fit. Speaking to reporters, he said: 
"Yes, Shami is fit but something about him playing or not playing, I am not the one who can answer." 
Sitanshu Kotak revealed that BCCI has kept a separate plan for Mohammed Shami and added that calls related to his inclusion in the XI will be taken by Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav. He added: 
"There is definitely a plan (for Shami) for coming matches as well and One-dayers, but the coach Gautam and obviously Surya will take a call. And fitness, definitely not a problem depending on how they are planning to build this load." 
India are 2-0 ahead in the five-match T20I series against England. The third match of the series will be played on Tuesday (28th January) in Rajkot.

After two great games, the Indian cricket team will lock horns with England in the third match of the five-match T20I series. This clash will begin at 7 PM on Tuesday at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. The first two matches have ended in India's favor as they have had great contributions from their players.
England had some good performances, but they failed to grab the chances. This will be a do-or-die game for the visitors as they are on the verge of losing the series. Whatever the result will be, there will be fireworks from both sides.
Both teams will enter this game to take down their opponents. In this article, we will talk about the approaching milestones and records for the third IND vs ENG T20I on Tuesday.
IND vs ENG: List of approaching records for the third T20I in Rajkot
2 - Arshdeep Singh has three wickets in the first two games. He is just two wickets away from creating history. With two more wickets, he will become the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in T20Is. Remember, he just won the "ICC T20I Player of the Year 2025." If he can do it in Rajkot, he will become the fastest pacer to 100 T20I wickets as well.
2 - Washington Sundar played the second game and took one wicket in one over he bowled. He has now 48 wickets in 53 T20Is and is just 2 wickets away from becoming the 11th Indian with 50 or more T20I wickets.
30 - Jos Buttler is the leading scorer in two games, having scored 113 runs at an average of 56.50. He is England's highest scorer in T20Is and now is just 30 runs away from becoming the fifth-highest scorer overall in T20Is. Buttler needs 32 runs to go past Martin Guptill's tally of 3531 T20I runs.
5 - Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has failed in both games, but he needs just one good innings to come back to his best. Suryakumar has hit 145 sixes so far and needs just five more to complete 150 sixes and become only the fifth batter to do so. 
24 - English opener Phil Salt needs 24 runs to complete 2000 international runs for England.
69 - Buttler has been superb in the series. If he can score 69 runs, he will become only the 8th English batter of all time to complete 11,500 international runs.
4 - Washington Sundar has represented India in all three formats. He has 96 wickets in his career and needs four more to complete 100 international wickets.

The wait to see Virat Kohli in Delhi colours for the Ranji Trophy is all set to end. The premier India batter is all set to play the final round of the ongoing tournament, which will begin on 30th January, with Delhi taking on Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. 
The reports in ESPNCricinfo have revealed that Virat Kohli will be joining the Delhi team for the next round of the Ranji Trophy on Tuesday (28th January). The India batter will be training with his state team for two days before taking the field against Railways on 30th January.
Virat Kohli playing against Railways will mark the first instance when he will be playing in the Ranji Trophy after 2012. All the Indian players will be returning to domestic cricket after BCCI made it mandatory for the players to play, especially after the debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 
<h2>Virat Kohli playing in the Ranji Trophy will be a great opportunity for him to regain his form</h2>
Virat Kohli playing in the Ranji Trophy will be a great opportunity for him to regain his form. The batter has been struggling to get going in the Tests of late and has been averaging in the mid-20s for the last few years, and this has been a serious cause of concern for the team. 
Returning to domestic cricket will be a great opportunity for him to get back to his best. The batter, since the last week, has been putting the hard yards in Mumbai. He worked with former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar to improve his batting before heading into the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. 
Virat Kohli has been great for India, but in recent times, he has witnessed a decline in the longest format of the game.  He failed miserably in the Tests in 2024. The batter struggled to get runs at home against Bangladesh and New Zealand, and then the same story continued in Australia. 
Kohli started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a high as he hit a blistering ton in the first match of the series. However, after that, he looked clueless with the bat as he managed just 90 runs in the last 4 games. He would be keen to get some runs in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 now and get some confidence under his belt.

Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer had a poor outing with the bat in the last game against Jammu and Kashmir. It was expected that he would turn out for another game to get some confidence under their belt but that won't be the case.

"Rohit, Jaiswal and Iyer are all likely to attend the BCCI's Naman Annual awards in Mumbai on February 1. Next day (February 2), they are supposed to report for a short camp to Nagpur before the three-match ODI series against England."
Them missing the next round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 will raise some concerns too, especially for Rohit Sharma. The batter has been going through the torrid run of form in the Tests and also failed in the last match of the Ranji Trophy, where he managed just 31 runs acorss two innings. 
There has been lot of talks about the future of Rohit Sharma in Tests. The batter has been struggling to get going in the longest format of the game, failing in the series against Bangladesh and New Zealand at home and also in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
