England stunned India when they registered a win out of nowhere in Hyderabad. Traling by 190 runs, England showed a lot of character and went on to register a historic win by 28 runs. That certainly pushed India back to some extent.
Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul are also not part of the second test due to injuries. So it will be a big challenge for India. The second test will start on Friday at the VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. England will be confident after beating India in the first game, while the hosts need to pull up their socks.
