The Indian squad for this series has been depleted, with KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami all being unavailable at various points. Kohli will be out of the entire series, but KL Rahul could return for the fourth Test.
Rahul scored 86 in the first innings of the first Test, before missing the next two with injury. With Rahul still not a hundred per cent fit, his spot could be taken either by Rajat Patidar or Devdutt Paddikal.
