Ahead of the 2nd Test against New Zealand, Washington Sundar is likely to replace Kuldeep Yadav, as India looks to enhance control with Sundar’s off-spin. Key players Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, and Shubman Gill spent extensive hours at the nets, preparing to recover from the 1st Test defeat. Gill is set to return after recovering from a stiff neck, while KL Rahul skipped nets, sticking to his usual pre-Test routine. Speculation continues over Rahul or Sarfaraz's spot in the final XI, following Sarfaraz's strong performance in Bengaluru.
