India vs South Africa Playing 11 live updates: Should India go with Prasidh again?

Aakash Chopra believes India should go with Prasidh Krishna in the second Test. Here&#39;s what he has said.<br />
<br />
&quot;I feel Prasidh Krishna should continue playing. There are talks that Mukesh Kumar or Avesh Khan might play. Personally, I feel, that if Avesh (Khan) debuts in this match and performs poorly, you will have to drop him as well.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;Krishna made his debut in the last match as he is the right bowler for these conditions. So, I want him to continue. We should play Shardul Thakur as well or just go with four pace bowlers if we can. If we drop Krishna now, I think that would be the wrong move.&quot;<br />
<br />

India vs South Africa Playing 11 live updates: Cape Town weather update

Bright sunshine welcomes both the teams. There is no sign of clouds in the horizon and full 90 overs is expected today.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
We are just 10 minutes away from the toss, stay tuned for the latest update.

India vs South Africa Playing 11 live updates: Will Prasidh get another chance today?

<div>
	Rohit Sharma has put his faith on Prasidh Krishna, who looked out of sort in his debut Test. Though, there has been talks around his lacklustre show in India vs South Africa 1st Test, captain Rohit doesn&#39;t want to lose faith in Krishna&#39;s ability.<br />
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Krishna was hammered for 93 runs in 20 overs on debut during the Centurion Test which India lost by an innings and 32 runs.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;We had brief chat with management as to what we want from this game from bowlers, we haven&#39;t exactly finalized our eleven, all our players are fit and available. We will sit down and decide,&quot; Rohit said when asked about potential changes and whether Mukesh Kumar has a chance to play.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	It seemed he wants to persist with Prasidh, who is not exactly known for his economy rate and has been leaking runs across formats.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;Having said that I know we have a little bit of inexperience in bowling and when that happens, you got to show trust in them. That can happen with any team. Post last match, I said about Prasidh playing his first game. We all get nervous when you are playing your first game. It&#39;s understandable.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;But I&#39;ll still back that thought of mine, that he&#39;s got good ability to succeed at this level and especially in this format. So it&#39;s just about showing faith and trust in everyone and getting the job done from them.&quot;<br />

<div>
	<strong>Pitch looks similar to Centurion</strong></div>

<div>
	The India skipper feels that pace and bounce at Newlands will be similar to Centurion but the heat here will be a factor.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;Pitch looks similar to what we had in Centurion. May be not so much grass (on Supersport Park track) but enough covering of grass but overhead conditions will matter as it is very hot compared to Centurion.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;In 2021, I wasn&#39;t here (because of injury) but guys who were here, told me it was similar conditions, we know exactly what needs to be done. Based on how pitch is, we got to respond to that.&quot;</div>

India vs South Africa Playing 11 live updates: Shardul likely to miss today's game

<div>
	Though captain Rohit Sharma informed the nediapersons that every player is fit and available for the second Test. If media reports have to be believed, all-rounder Shardul Thakur has some ankle issue as he hasn&#39;t bowled for last couple of sessions.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Thakur, who was seen walking with a slight limp, had sustained a blow on his left shoulder while batting. He recovered from it and batted on Monday at the centre wicket at net. However both on Monday and Tuesday, he didn&#39;t bowl a single delivery.<br />

Ravindra Jadeja has recovered from the back spasm he suffered on the morning of the boxing day test. The all format India all-rounder is set to return to India Playing 11 for the second Test against South Africa today. However, it will be interesting to see, whom he will replace. If there has been a like to like replacement, then, Jadeja would certainly replace R Ashwin, who didn&#39;t impress much in the first test.&nbsp;<br />
