New Delhi. The second test between India and New Zealand is being played in Hyderabad. Team India had to face defeat in the first test.

Mitchell Santner has come in place of Matt Henry. Whereas Rohit Sharma has also made 3 changes in the Indian team.
Rohit Sharma said after losing the toss, “When you play a test match like this, the first session is not in our favor. But we batted well in the second innings. We consider it positive. When you are behind you always want to find ways to make a comeback in a Test match. This is what we did. The pitch is a bit dry, yes. We know how important the first 10 overs are. There have been three changes in the team. Siraj, KL and Kuldeep are out. Akash Deep, Washington and Gill have come in their place.”
