India beat England by 106 runs in the second Test to level the series 1-1. The Rohit Sharma-led team was without key players as Virat Kohli missed the first two matches due to personal reasons. However, his close friend and South African legend AB de Villiers recently revealed that Virat and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their second child. Some reports also mentioned that Virat is abroad.
Also, Mohammad Shami is not part of this series. There are also doubts over the participation of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul ahead of the third Test. BCCI is yet to announce the squad for the remaining three matches. So it is suspense whether Virat will participate in the upcoming match or not.
The third Test will be played at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on February 15. Ahead of the upcoming match, England legend Nasser Hussain suggested that Virat might return for the third Test.
With three Tests remaining, the series is getting more exciting. But England will have to be ready as India start to come back stronger. India has lacked many key players so far. Mohammad Shami has been ruled out of the series, Ravi Jadeja may miss another Test match and Virat Kohli was absent for the first two matches.
These are important players. Kohli and possibly KL Rahul could return, boosting India’s strength in the remaining three matches. England need to realize that they need to improve their performance – Nasser Hussain said.
Even head coach Rahul Dravid has no answer about Kohli’s comeback. “I think it’s better to ask the selectors. I am sure they are the best people to answer ahead of the team selection for the next three Tests. We will get to it – he said.
