The former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan has predicted that the pitch for the upcoming clash is going to be almost similar to what it was in Hyderabad and Vizag.
IND vs ENG: No KL Rahul for the third contest, Needs one more week to fully recover
KL Rahul won’t be a part of the Indian squad for the upcoming clash as the medical staff has suggested a rest of at least one more week. India missed his presence in the previous game however the impressive knocks of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill turned the game in the favour of India and the side was able to win the contest.
Virat Kohli has already withdrawn from the whole series citing personal reasons and hence there will be no Kohli in the entire series. The fans were very excited about his arrival in the squad but unfortunately, he won’t be available for the side in the upcoming contests too.

Rajkot Pitch: The Surface is favourable for Jasprit Bumrah, Predicts former Indian Pacer
Zaheer Khan has recently said that the Pitch in Rajkot is going to be similar to what it was in the first two clashes of the series. He also said that some reverse swing will also be seen on the surface which is going to be quite favourable for Jasprit Bumrah who recently secured the first spot in the category in the ICC Bowlers’ rankings.
Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming clash between both sides and the game is going to be played in Rajkot which is considered the home ground of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja. The game is going to be crucial for both sides as the winning side will be able to take the lead in the forthcoming clash.
However, India will miss the presence of Kohli and Rahul for the imminent clash but still, the side has the potential to overcome all the challenges without their main players.
