The Guwahati Test will start on November 22. Before that, we have the latest injury and squad updates. The pitch won’t be similar to that in Eden Gardens. Indian batters are using ‘old ways’ to prepare for the Proteas spin test. If Shubman Gill doesn’t play, an out-of-the-box replacement has been suggested. The BCCI has postponed a tour, and the board has also been asked to expand the IPL.

Shubman Gill will fly to Guwahati with Team India, but he isn’t confirmed to feature in the second South Africa Test. Nitish Kumar Reddy has been added back to the squad and might just play to break the left-handedness in the middle order. The Proteas have called Lungi Ngidi as cover for Kagiso Rabada.

Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia has urged the BCCI to increase the number of matches in the IPL. The board has already decided to play 94 games, instead of 74, from 2028, but Wadia thinks the sooner it happens, the better. He also suggested reviving the Champions League T20.
Pitch report for Guwahati Test

This old-school technique encourages batters to play with their bat instead of their pad. This unique training forces left-handed batters, 6 of whom played at Eden Gardens, to play on the front foot.
Gaikwad to play IND vs SA 2nd Test?
Aakash Chopra has suggested bringing Ruturaj Gaikwad into India’s Test squad if Shubman Gill doesn’t recover. Since Simon Harmer’s 6 out of 8 wickets were of lefties, bringing Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal doesn’t make sense. The former India opener emphasised Gaikwad’s current form, solid technique, and ability to bat in the middle order.
