All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja sustained a hamstring injury while stealing a quick single in the second innings. He not only got run-out in the process, but also picked up an injury much to the disappointment of the fans as he is now ruled out of the second Test at least. Jadeja scored 86 runs in the first innings as well helping India post 436 runs.

India cricketer Sarfaraz Khan has finally earned his maiden call-up with his consistent show in domestic cricket. But it remains to be seen if he gets a place in the XI as Rajat Patidar is already in the squad.

Washington Sundar is another replacement named by the selector and looks set to be in the playing XI in place of Jadeja. Sundar is an off-spinner and offers a solid batting option at number six. He had batted superbly in the famous win at Gabba for India and the management will be hoping the same from him again.

Saurabh Kumar is a left-arm spin bowling all-rounder and is another contender to replace Jadeja in XI. He did well in the ongoing series against England Lions showing his prowess with the bat as well. But with Sundar also called up, it is less likely that Saurabh will be preferred for the crucial second Test.
