According to recent update given by team manage middle order batsman Ajinkya Rahane have been ruled out of the remaining two Tests against England after sustaining an fracture on his right index finger during the net practice session and has been replaced by Manish Pandey.

Already team India is missing the services of its regular wicket keeper Wriddhiman Saha who has been rested for the match.
Although KL Rahul is fit again and available for selection but the team management has not taken a decision yet. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is believed to fill the shoe of second fast bowler in the match.
