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

#1 Rishabh Pant in place of Dinesh Karthik

It may be harsh to drop Dinesh Karthik who played just a match, but his performance was not up to the mark. Dinesh Karthik who got to play a test match after a long gap hasn't proved himself and will be a doubt for the second test match.

Rishabh Pant's inclusion may come as a surprise for many of the fans but owe to his consistent performances for India A side helped him a get a maiden call to the Test Squad. Dinesh Karthik scored 0 and 18 runs in the first and second innings respectively.

On the other side, Rishabh Pant could play at a faster pace and help lower the pressure on the Indian lower order. He could play an innings similar to that of Sam Curran. His inclusion will be a boon to the Indian side as they can promote Hardik Pandya up the order. Rishabh's recent impressive performance came against Essex in the warm-up match.
