The Indian team, which leads the series 1-0 with just two matches to go, would look to win the second game and by doing so, would look to create history by winning its first-ever home series against South Africa. For that to happen, the players, who will be chosen in the playing eleven would have to perform out of their skins once again.
Here's how the Playing 11 of India and Australia would look like
The Indian team would not look to experiment whatsoever as it has already lost Jasprit Bumrah due to injury for the remainder of the series. He did not play in the first either and hence the team that had Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar and Harshal Patel as three s and Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel as two spinners.
As for South Africa, they played with the best eleven players available and although the likes of Tristan Stubbs, Rilee Rossouw and David Miller couldn’t fire, they are the middle-order strongholds and must be preserved at any cost. Thus changing the playing eleven after just one bad game would make no sense.
India's Predicted playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Deepak Chahar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh
Australia's Predicted playing 11
Aaron Finch (c), Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Josh Inglis, Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
