<p><strong>Nitish Kumar Reddy</strong></p>
<p>Nitish Kumar Reddy was added to the playing XI in the second Test match with an aim to provide stability in the lower middle-order. Despite receiving the opportunity, Nitish had poor outings with both bat and ball. Will Team India`s think tank provide another opportunity to the young all-rounder? We will just have to wait and watch</p>

<p>Prasidh Krishna was the only Indian bowler who kept conceding runs in both the Test matches. If India includes Jasprit Bumrah in the playing XI for the third Test, will Krishna be benched for the remainder of the series?</p>

<p><strong>Karun Nair</strong></p>
<p>Karun Nair has been consistent in delivering decent performances, but has yet to put on a big score for India in the series. The right-hander made a return to the Test side after years of toiling hard in the domestic circuit. It remains to be seen whether he will feature in the third Test match for India</p>
