Ahead of the IND vs SA 2nd Test, India’s Playing XI is yet to be decided. India Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma addressed the media where he claimed that the entire team is ready for selection, but the team selection is yet to be done. Further he went on to opine that there is some inexperience in terms of the bowling unit.
“Look I have honestly not thought a lot (on team selection) though we have had a brief chat with the management and the coaching staff. We have not completely finalised out Playing XI. Everyone is available for selection as there are no injury concerns,” said Rohit Sharma in the pre match Press Conference.

Rohit also backed Prasidh Krishna who made his debut in the previous Test. “We all get nervous when you are playing your first game. I will still back the thought that he (Prasidh) has good ability to succeed at this level and this format.”
