These two Indian giants, who flopped in the first test match, may have a ‘holiday’

Team India: In the first Test match between India (IND) and South Africa (SA), Team India took a 1-0 lead in the series. The next match between the two teams will be played in Johannesburg from January 3. In the first Test match, the Indian bowlers performed brilliantly and took the turn of the match by cheaply dealing the hosts in both the innings. Even though Team India won this match, but the performance of Indian batsmen was not good. Apart from KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, none of the players could reach half-centuries. We are telling you about two such players, who can be dropped from the playing XI in the next match.

Such was the performance of Indian batsmen in the first match

Openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal batted brilliantly in the first innings. Rahul scored 123 while Mayank contributed 60 runs.

These two players can be dropped in the next match

Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who have been battling poor form for a long time, did not play in the first match against South Africa. Pujara got out without opening an account in the first innings and could only score 16 runs in the second innings. Apart from this, Rahane scored 48 runs in the first innings, while scored 20 runs in the second innings. Both these batsmen have been flopping for a long time. In such a situation, it will be difficult for both of them to make a place in the playing XI of the next match.
