When Rohit Sharma’s team plays England during the second Test match in Visakhapatnam on Friday, the hosts will be under greater pressure than the opponent, which is not often the case in Indian Test matches.
Ravindra Jadeja as well as KL Rahul have been ruled out of the match with hamstring and right quadriceps soreness, respectively, meaning that India is now 1-0 in the series and will be under pressure coming into the match. If England prevailed in this game, they would want to bolster their campaign to win the series.
