They have been dealt with a few injury blows though. After Virat Kohli's prior absence, the hosts have suffered key blows as KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja both have been ruled out for the second Test.

Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar are the trio who are called in for the second Test.

Sarfaraz Khan has been a serial performer in the domestic tournaments and has done pretty well for India A as well. The Mumbai batter received his maiden national team call-up and has joined the Indian team.

But will the Vizag Test be Sarfaraz's emergence in India colours? Well, it may still take a bit of time for him to have his first cap. Because for the Vizag Test, two of his teammates may have the nod ahead.

Here are the two players who may be roped in as a replacement in the India playing XI-

Washington Sundar

Washington Sundar has received his call-up and may get drafted into the Indian playing XI in the Vizag Test. The Tamil Nadu spinner can be handy on the Vizag dec and is also well-equipped with the bat. His batting can play a pivotal part, as it may place him ahead in the pecking order.

Washington can be an ideal replacement for Ravindra Jadeja, who is ruled out with an injury. With Axar Patel already in the team, we may see Washington Sundar coming into the side.

Rajat Patidar

Rajat Patidar was called in as a replacement for Virat Kohli. The 30-year-old is another prolific domestic player who will be dreaming of his Test debut. Having played 1 ODI match for India, Patidar will be eager for the Test cap, and he may get it in Vizag.

The Madhya Pradesh batter can play in the middle order and can facilitate the role of KL Rahul in the team. Despite the likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel in the side, Patidar's pedigree as a prolific scorer may mean him getting the nod ahead.
