Gill may not be in form but will keep his place for at least the Vizag Test.

Rajat Patidar

Sarfaraz Khan may have joined up with the team but since Rajat Patidar was part of the squad even during 1st Test, he's likely to get the nod.

Shreyas Iyer

Like Gill, Iyer's place is the side has also come into question but he should also get another opportunity.

KS Bharat (wk)

The wicketkeeper-batter looked good, even if he didn't get a big score. He will continue behind the sticks.

R Ashwin

The offie, who's 4 wickets away from 500 Test scalps, will lead India's spin attack.

Axar Patel

The spin all-rounder will also surely be part of the XI in the 2nd Test.

Washington Sundar

With Jadeja out, Sundar should get a look in. His experience in comparison to Saurabh Kumar, should see him play in Vizag.

Jasprit Bumrah

How can you leave out India's pace spearhead no matter how the conditions are? Bumrah is a certain starter.

Mohd Siraj or Kuldeep Yadav?

Mohd Siraj went wicketless in the first Test. If the pitch aids spin, Kuldeep will replace him in the XI and add variety to the attack.
