India skipper Virat Kohli is set to ring in changes once again to his playing XI for the second Test against England at Lord's on Thursday. mid-day has learnt that the Indian team management is contemplating bringing back No. 3 specialist Cheteshwar Pujara, who was left out of the first Test at Edgbaston, following a poor build-up to the much-anticipated Test series.

Pujara, in all likelihood, may replace opener Shikhar Dhawan, who scored just 26 and 13 during the opening Test. He also missed a couple of crucial catches in the slips during the second innings and that allowed the England tail to flourish. The hosts won the Test by 31 runs. Dhawan has come under fire from Indian batting great Sunil Gavaskar recently for not altering his approach in Test cricket. If Dhawan is indeed dropped, then KL Rahul may take the opener's position with Pujara coming at his usual No. 3 spot.
