2nd Test: New Zealand Elect To Bat First Against India; Akash, Washington & Gill Come In
Maharashtra Cricket Association: Akash Deep, Washington Sundar and Shubman Gill have been included in India’s playing eleven as New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first in the second Test at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Thursday.
India are looking to bounce back and square the series after New Zealand won the first Test in Bengaluru by eight wickets. On the other hand, New Zealand, currently leading three-match series 1-0, are looking to do which no other team has managed to do so since 2012 - win a Test series in India.
New Zealand skipper Tom Latham said pacer Matt Henry is out with a glute niggle and left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner replaces him in the playing eleven. “Surface slightly different to what it was last week. Not a lot of grass. Might produce a bit of spin as we expect when we come to these parts of the world.”
