 IND vs SA Toss Prediction 

India won the toss in the first match and elected to bat, and batting first will definitely be the order of the day in this game too.

 IND vs SA Weather Report 

As with the first test, there is a risk of rain for much of the first five days – though the forecast for scattered thunderstorms is more prominent this time out and there could be some heavy rainfall at times during next week.

 IND vs SA Pitch Condition 

Pune, one of India’s more recently built test grounds, has favoured the batsmen in its short history so far.   

 Team NEWS: 

 IND Team News 

India opted for Wriddhiman Saha behind the stumps last time out and two spinners – Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Together with the decision to open with Rohit Sharma for the first time in tests, the Indian selectors were proved justified in their selections and it could be an unchanged team.

 SA Team News 

South Africa may look to make changes for this second test after coming up short in the first match. Zubayr Hamza is pushing for a spot in the batting line-up, where he could replace Theunis de Bruyn, while Anrich Nortje is looking for his test match debut too. Bringing the latter in, as a third pace option, would alter the balance of the team, however.

Best Choices For C/VC : Rohit Sharma / Ravindra Jadeja / Quinton de Cock and Virat Kohli.

Key Players:

 IND Key Players: 

Virat Kohli: 
Overshadowed by Sharma and Agarwal last time out, but there is no questioning the India captain’s capability in the middle order. He played his 80th test last time out, during which time he has scored 25 centuries and 22 half-centuries.

 Rohit Sharma: 
Promoted to open the batting in test match cricket for the first time, the big-hitting opener repaid that faith with 176 in the first innings and 127 in the second – scoring at an excellent rate too.

 Ravinchandran Ashwin: 
After taking seven wickets in the first innings of the first test, the spinner became the joint-fastest bowler to reach 350 wickets in test match cricket – taking 66 tests to clock the milestone.

 SA Key Players: 

Faf du Plessis:
A first-innings 50 in the first test means the South Africa captain has scored 20 half-centuries and nine centuries in his 100 test match innings to date. He averages 42.74 in the longest format.

Quinton de Kock: 
he wicket-keeper-batsman scored his fifth test century in the first innings of the first test, having previously been in good form in the T20is and at the World Cup before that too.

Kagiso Rabada: 
Took just one wicket in the first test but his ICC world ranking (second) shows what he is capable of. He comes into this tour having enjoyed some stunning form on Indian wickets at the IPL earlier this year too.

Team Forms:

IND  Team Form

India have won all three matches they have played in this inaugural World Test Championship, beating West Indies in both matches before IND vs SA 2019 series and opening this current engagement with a big win against South Africa.

Rohit Sharma (176) and Mayank Agarwal (215) set the tone when they shared a 317-run opening partnership in 82 overs and India did not look back. Ravichandran Ashwin took seven wickets to ensure India were ahead at halfway, and another Rohit Sharma century took the game away from the Proteas. Mohammed Shami then ripped through the South African batting as India claimed a 203-run victory. But for some late partnerships, it could have been even more dominant too.

SA Recent Team Form

South Africa have now lost their last three consecutive test matches. Surprise defeats to Sri Lanka were followed by their heavy loss in the first game of this series. At the halfway point, there were not out of it – Dean Elgar’s 160 and Quinton de Kock’s 111 keeping the first-innings deficit to 71 after a poor start. When India raced to 323/4 in 67 overs, however, South Africa had no response. They were 70/8 in the second innings and eventually folded for 191 – a 203-run defeat.


SQUAD:

INDIA:
Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Wriddhiman Saha(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav.

SOUTH AFRICA:
Aiden Markram, Dean Elgar, Theunis de Bruyn, Faf du Plessis(c), Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock(w), Zubayr Hamza, Vernon Philander, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Dane Piedt, Heinrich Klaasen, Anrich Nortje, Senuran Muthusamy.
