India vs England 2018: India's ideal XI for the second Test against England

#3. Wicket-keeper and All-Rounders: Dinesh Karthik, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja

Dinesh Karthik

It is always difficult to come in and replace someone of the calibre of Wriddhiman Saha but there were huge expectations from Dinesh Karthik. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to perform in the first test match. He scored just 20 runs in the match and spilled a couple of catches as well. Hopefully, he will pick his game up for the second test match.

Ravichandran Ashwin was very successful in the first Test picking up a total of 7 wickets in the match. He was simply unplayable at times and picked up vital wickets at important times and kept up the pressure on the English Batsmen. The Indian management would be hoping for much of the same from him in the second test match.

Ravindra Jadeja could get the nod in place of Hardik Pandya for the upcoming match. Ravindra Jadejass all-around ability to change the match in all three spheres be it batting, bowling or fielding could prove to be advantageous for India.
