The second test match between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune and the big news before this match is that KL Rahul will play in the second match as well. Assistant coach Ten Descate has revealed this in the press conference. Descale said that Gautam Gambhir is not worried about KL Rahul's form. Gautam Gambhir has decided to give KL Rahul a chance for a long time just like Sanju Samson.

So what will happen to Sarfaraz?

If KL Rahul remains in the playing eleven, then what will happen to Sarfaraz Khan? Ten Descatte said that Shubman Gill, who was out in the first test, is fully fit and he can play in the Pune test. So in such a situation, Sarfaraz Khan may have to sit out of the playing eleven. Sarfaraz Khan had scored a century in the Bengaluru test. An inning of 150 runs came out of his bat. Now if he is dropped from the playing eleven, then it will be unfair to him somewhere.

Rishabh Pant is also fit.

Assistant coach Descate said that every player of Team India is ready for the Pune Test. Rishabh Pant is also fine but he is having some difficulty in bending his knee at the end. Descate's statement is also important because if Pant does not play, Team India can give Sarfaraz a chance while making KL Rahul do wicketkeeping. But looking at the kind of pitch in Pune, it seems that it would be better to play a regular wicketkeeper there. The team also has Dhruv Jurel who can do this job.

When Ten Descate was asked why Washington Sundar was suddenly brought into the team, he said that the team already has Akshar Patel. But Team India wanted a bowler who could take the ball out against left-handed batsmen. Team India needed that option. Descate said that it is a good thing that players who performed well in the Ranji Trophy are getting a chance.
