IND vs SA: South Africa’s spirits are high after the victory in the first test. The second fight is going to be do or die for India. Many mistakes will have to be corrected in this match. Should be good from batting to bowling. The match will start from 22nd November.
India vs South Africa, 2nd Test: The second Test match between India and South Africa will be played from 22 to 26 November at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. Africa is leading 1-0 in the 2-match Test series. In the first Test, the team led by Temba Bavuma had won on Indian soil after 15 years. In such a situation, they have nothing left to lose, but a lot to gain. If they want to win this match, then the Indian management will have to correct these 3 mistakes. If this does not happen, then after 25 years South Africa will win the Test series and India’s dominance on its soil will end.
Keeping proper batsman at number-3
Team India has been continuously trying to make changes at number 3 in the last few matches, but its results have not been seen. In the first Test also, Washington Sundar was given a chance in this position, but he failed to play a long innings. He scored 29 and 31 runs. Gautam Gambhir is also being trolled for letting this player bat at number three. The team has options of Sai Sudarshan and Devdutt Padikkal, but they were not used in the first test. Now if we want to strengthen the batting in the second test, then one of the two should be given a chance to play at number 3. Both are proper batsmen, who have good temperament to play red ball cricket.

It is necessary to change the option of 4 spinners
Team India was playing with 4 spin bowlers in the Kolkata Test. Gautam Gambhir thought that all the bowlers would wreak havoc on the turning track, but the move backfired. Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets in the first innings, while Jadeja took 4 wickets in the second. Keeping Akshar and Sundar in the team did not provide much benefit in bowling. Now India should remove one of the four spinners in the second test and go with a third fast bowler. In such a situation, the team has the option of Nitish Kumar Reddy, who can be useful as a pacer. His batting is also excellent. Can support Bumrah and Siraj with the ball. At the same time, three spinners Kuldeep, Jadeja and Sundar would be better options.
It is important for spinners to play well
In the Kolkata Test, the Indian openers could not give a good start in both the innings. Added 18 runs in the first innings and 0 runs in the second. Especially Yashasvi Jaiswal (12,0) did not bat. The team had to suffer the consequences of this. Other batsmen were also seen struggling against the spinners. South Africa’s spin bowlers will have to play carefully. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Jadeja, Nitish and Yashasvi will have to play big innings. The spinners will have to attack. If we are successful ahead of them, then our chances of winning the match will increase.
