The second Test of the four-Test series between India and England will be played at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In the first Test, Team India lost to England by 227 runs. India’s top and middle order batsmen were disappointing in both innings of the Test. Even Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane did nothing special with the bat. Rahane’s bat is silent after a century against Australia in the Melbourne Test. Meanwhile, Rahane has given critics a fair answer about his form and advised him to review the record of the last 15 Test matches.

Speaking at a press conference, the vice-captain of Team India said, ‘We have been playing in the home ground for almost two years now. If you look at the score of the last home series, there may be something (big score). Rahane scored 59 and 115 innings in that series against South Africa in 2019. Rahane said, ‘It’s more about the team’s achievement than any individual performance and how I can contribute to the team. If you look at the statistics of the last 10-15 Test matches, you can see some runs.

Akshar or Kuldeep who gets the chance, it could be India’s playing XI

In the first Test, he was asked whether the players’ body language was not positive, due to a change in leadership. He said, ‘It happens when your energy in the game is a bit low but that doesn’t mean it’s due to a change in leadership. I mentioned earlier that Virat is our hero. Rahane has captained India’s five Tests so far and has won the team four. Rahane has not lost a Test match yet.
