Virat Kohli: Team India may face a big setback before the third Test match against New Zealand. Team India's star batsman can be rested in the last match. Team India has faced defeat against New Zealand at home for the first time in its Test history.
New Zealand is leading 2-0 in the 3-match series and will be eyeing a clean sweep. Team India has never had a clean sweep in a three-match series at home.
Team India may give rest to Virat Kohli before the third test match. In view of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), he can be given rest before the last match so that he can make a fresh comeback in Border Gavaskar. By giving rest to Virat Kohli in this match, Dhruv Jurel may have been given a chance. Dhruv had performed well against England earlier this year.
Dhruv batted brilliantly in the Ranchi Test against England and helped Team India win the match. However, after Rishabh Pant's return to the Test team, Dhruv Jurel did not get a chance in the team. But he can be given a chance in place of Virat Kohli in the third match. Dhruv can be given a chance as a batsman in the team while Pant can handle the responsibility of keeping.
If we talk about Dhruv's career, he had scored 190 runs in 4 innings of 3 matches at an average of 63.33, in which his top score is 90 runs. Dhruv also impressed everyone with his keeping. He took 7 dismissals with 5 catches and 2 stumpings in 6 innings of 3 matches.
Probable playing eleven for Mumbai test-
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep.
