2nd Test: India aim to bounce back against England’s ‘Bazball’

NEW DELHI: In the second Test, which starts in Visakhapatnam on Friday, an under-pressured and under-resourced India will have to be creative in order to beat England’s gutsy group of “Bazballers.”
India are rarely tested at home, but after a shocking defeat in Hyderabad, they have a lot to think about. Moreover, their work has been made more difficult by the absence of injured players Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul.

The formidable hosts were in a similar predicament three years prior after losing the first Test against England in Chennai but winning the series nonetheless.
The Joe Root-led team was a different animal back then, though, and this time around India intends to rally against a team that has revolutionized Test cricket by winning the opening series despite trailing by 190 runs on a turning pitch.
