In the IND vs ENG 2nd Test, Rohit Sharma will have a lot of responsibility with the lack of services of experienced players. England is leading the five-match test series against India with 1-0 after securing a win in the first game.

India's star batsman Virat Kohli opted out of the first two tests due to personal reasons. Madhya Pradesh's Rajat Patidar was named as a replacement player in his place but did not feature in the first test.
