KL Rahul: The Indian cricket team is currently busy playing a two-match Test series against Bangladesh (IND vs BAN). After this they have to play a 3-match test series against New Zealand.

Let us tell you that Team India is going to be very busy in the coming times and they have to play series one after the other. In such a situation, now as soon as the series against Bangladesh ends, they have to face the Kiwi team and many big changes can be seen in this series.

KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj may be on leave

Actually, KL Rahul has not been able to perform well for Team India for some time and in such a situation, if he is not able to perform well in the second test match against Bangladesh, then he can be shown the way out. .

Even in the first test match, Rahul could not perform well and in such a situation he can be shown the door against the Kiwi team. Apart from this, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has also been struggling for some time and Akash Deep is performing well. In such a situation, Siraj can be dropped.

Sarfaraz Khan and Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance

If we talk about the playing eleven in the first test match against New Zealand, two changes can be seen in it. In this series, young batsman Sarfaraz Khan may get a chance in place of Rahul (KL Rahul). Sarfaraz has played 3 test matches for Team India so far, in which he has scored 200 runs at an average of 50.

During this period, Sarfaraz has scored 3 half-centuries. So in place of Siraj, star spinner Kuldeep Yadav may get a chance in the final eleven. The Test series against New Zealand is to be played in India and that is why Kuldeep may get a chance.

Yadav has performed well for Team India in all three formats for some time now. He also bowled brilliantly in the Test series played against England earlier this year and that is why he may get a chance to play against the Kiwi team.

India's probable eleven for the first test

Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep.
