India (IND) will be up against England (ENG) in the 2nd Test of the England tour of India at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam from February 2.
Both these teams had squared off against each other in the first match of the series which was played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad where England won the toss and elected to bat. After the openers gave a good start, and with skipper Stokes playing a good knock they were able to manage 246 runs on the board. India, in return, was simply brilliant right from the start. A complete team performance with the bat meant India posted a total of 436 runs and took the lead of 190.
England, in the third innings, were simply brilliant right from the start. It was Ollie Pope who turned the game around with his knock of 196 but was well aided by other players as they formed good partnerships with him and scored mammoth 420 runs which meant India had a huge target of 231 runs in the fourth innings. India had started well with skipper Rohit looking in complete control. Jaiswal looked scratchy and lost his wicket and they just kept losing one after the other. Bharat and Ashwin had a good partnership but could not take the team over the line and England won the game by 28 runs.

Player Picks
Ravichandran Ashwin IND | ALL
Ashwin would be the most crucial pick in the coming game keeping in mind that Jadeja has been ruled out of the match. He would be contributing from both ends hence making him the captain would be beneficial.
Rohit Sharma IND | BAT
Rohit is the skipper of the Indian side and in the absence of Kohli, Rahul and Jadeja, he would be coming with added responsibilities. He is expected to put up a great show with the bat.
Axar Patel IND | ALL
Axar has been terrific in Tests on the Indian soil with the ball as well as the bat. He could not contribute much in the last game but would be a perfect fit for captaincy roles.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Dhruv Jurel
IND | WK
Jurel may not actually get a chance to get to playing Xi so it doesn't make sense to put him up on your team.
Zak Crawley
ENG | BAT
Crawley could not do much in the last game scoring a total of 51 runs in both innings. He can be left out of your fantasy team.
