The second Test match will be played between India and West Indies in Delhi from October 10. Now India will enter the second and last Test match of the series to be held in Delhi from October 10 with a lead of 1-0. Captain Shubman Gill’s eyes will be on winning his first Test series as captain. At the same time, some changes can be seen in the playing 11 in this match. The two players who are likely to be dropped are Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudarshan. Devdutt Padikkal may enter if Sudarshan is dropped from the playing 11.
Actually, if we talk about Jasprit Bumrah, he played the final of Asia Cup 2025 on 28 September. After this he directly reached Ahmedabad with the team. He also bowled brilliantly in the first Test against West Indies. Now Bumrah can be rested in the Delhi Test due to workload management. He is also out of the ODI series against Australia from October 19 and will take the field in the five-match T20 series to be held from October 29. Right now, Prasidh Krishna can be given a chance by giving him rest before the tough tour of Australia. Even in the practice session on Wednesday, Krishna bowled with Bumrah, Siraj and Reddy for a long time.
Sai Sudarshan must have increased the concern of captain Shubhman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir. He has scored only 147 runs in his 7 test innings. He was also a flop in the Ahmedabad test. In such a situation, now he will get his last chance in the Delhi Test. Or the captain and coach would like to try Devdutt Padikkal. Talking about Padikkal, he recently played an inning of 150 runs in an unofficial test match against Australia A. Apart from this, he has also scored a half-century against India in three Test innings. Whereas Sudarshan has been able to score only one fifty after playing seven innings.
