India vs New Zealand 2nd Test: Rahane, Jadeja, Ishant, Williamson ruled out; India to bat first : Rashtra News
New
Zealand
too
have
a
scare
on
skipper
Kane
Williamson
as
a
tennis
elbow
has
reared
its
ugly
head
on
the
match
day.
Williamson
is
also
not
available
for
this
Test
and
Tom
Latham
will
lead
the
side
at
the
Wankhede
Stadium.
But
when
the
play
started
Virat
Kohli
won
the
toss
and
elected
to
bat
first.
“Fast
bowler
Ishant
Sharma
dislocated
his
left
little
finger
during
the
final
day
of
the
1st
Test
match
in
Kanpur.
He
is
thus
ruled
out
of
the
2nd
Test
in
Mumbai.
The
BCCI
Medical
team
will
continue
to
monitor
his
progress,”
said
a
media
release
from
the
BCCI.
“All-rounder
Ravindra
Jadeja
suffered
a
right
forearm
injury
during
the
1st
Test
match
in
Kanpur.
After
undergoing
scans,
he
was
diagnosed
with
a
swelling
on
his
forearm.
He
has
been
advised
rest
and
is
thus
ruled
out
of
the
2nd
Test
in
Mumbai.
Ajinkya
Rahane
sustained
a
minor
left
hamstring
strain
while
fielding
on
the
final
day
of
the
1st
Test
match
in
Kanpur.
“Since
he
has
not
recovered
completely,
he
has
been
ruled
out
of
the
2nd
Test
in
Mumbai.
His
progress
will
be
closely
monitored
by
the
BCCI
Medical
team,”
the
released
added.
Earlier,
the
toss
has
been
delayed
due
to
wet
outfield
here
at
the
Wankhede
Stadium.
The
pitch
inspection
was
done
at
9.30
am,
and
10.30
am
before
fixing
the
toss
time
at
11.30
AM
for
a
12
noon
start
Kohli
said:
“Looks
like
a
really
nice
wicket,
nice
and
hard
early
on
and
not
much
grass
on
it.
Today
with
the
sun
out,
we
presume
the
first
innings
is
going
to
be
the
best
time
to
bat.
Jayant
Yadav
comes
in
for
Jadeja.
“We
just
have
to
do
more
of
the
basics
that
we
did
in
Kanpur
as
well.
Credit
where
due,
New
Zealand
did
really
well
to
stick
out
for
a
draw.
You
have
to
accept
when
the
opposition
plays
well.
Knowing
that
we
know
that
if
we
play
good
cricket
at
home
we’ll
be
able
to
seize
the
opportunity.”
