Will Shardul Thakur not play in the second test against South Africa?

The second match of the two-Test series between India and South Africa will be played from January 3. By winning this match to be held in Cape Town, Team India would like to end the series at 1-1. The host team won the first Test in Centurion by an innings and 32 runs. India has also started preparations for the second match. An optional practice session was scheduled for Saturday (30 December). During this period, all-rounder Shardul Thakur got injured.

It was being said that Shardul might be out of the second test. A big information has come to light regarding his injury. According to media reports, Shardul's condition is fine. He suffered a left shoulder injury during a practice session at Centurion on Saturday. He took rest after the injury and is completely fine now. The medical staff of the Indian team has not recommended any treatment and no scan has been done on Shardul. Despite the injury, Shardul continued batting.

Shardul was failing in the first test
India lost the first Test within three days. Shardul's performance was average. While batting, he scored 24 runs in the first innings and two runs in the second innings. At the same time, Shardul had a success in bowling in the first innings. South Africa did not need to play the second innings. Now if Shardul gets a chance in the second test, then Team India will expect better performance from him.

These players took part in the practice session
Only seven to eight players participated in the optional practice session in Centurion. Apart from Shardul, these included captain Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna and KS Bharat. All the coaches were present there during this time.

There may be changes in playing-11
There may be a change in the playing-11 of Team India in the second test. The big question is whether the team will retain Prasidh Krishna? He made his debut in the first test and was able to take only one wicket. He also proved to be quite expensive. He also gave away 93 runs in 20 overs at an economy rate of 4.70. The fast bowler's performance has come under scrutiny and the options before the team management include Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan. Apart from this, it is believed that Ravindra Jadeja, who could not play the first Test due to back stiffness, will also be available for selection.
