3 Changes to the Indian playing XI that can help India win the 2nd test.

#2 Kuldeep Yadav in place of Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav, the pace bowler who made his Test debut against West Indies in 2011, has scalped 72 wickets in his 37 Test matches. Umesh Yadav failed to pick wickets in the middle at the right time which questions his place for the second test match.

Kuldeep Yadav performed well in the limited overs and will be aiming to do well in the Tests. India lagged a spinner who could bowl from the other end with Ashwin.

Kuldeep Yadav picked up six wickets against England in first ODI and could be a valuable pick for the second test. In the batting, Kuldeep Yadav could well block the balls. India lagged a left-handed batsman in the lower order who could tackle the left arm spin.

England batsman usually struggles against spin, and Kuldeep Yadav will be the X-Factor if picked.
