The two-match Test series between India and New Zealand is currently taking place in India. The first match of the series was played in Kanpur and ended in a draw. Following this, the captain of the Indian team Virat Kohli, who was retired in the first Test, will return to the Indian team and the situation has arisen that one has to leave the middle order in the second match.
The list includes three players who will miss out on the opportunity if captain Virat Kohli joins the team.

1) Ajinkya Rahane: He is the vice-captain of the Indian team and has been losing his batting form for the last two years. In particular, he amassed only 109 runs at an average of 15 in 4 Tests in England. Raghane is also likely to miss the first match against New Zealand, which ended in a draw.

2) Mayang Agarwal: Mayank Agarwal, who was already playing as a starter, lost his place due to a form out between them. He got his chance again in the series against New Zealand and is likely to be dropped from the squad as he scored only 13 runs in the first innings and 17 runs in the second innings.
3) Sreyas Iyer: Shreyas Iyer, who has just started his Test career, became the 16th Indian to score a century in his first match. Despite scoring a half-century in the second innings, Shreyas Iyer is likely to be ruled out of the match as both vice-captain Rahane and senior Pujara are key players.
