Hardik Pandya/ KL Rahul
Virat Kohli said that Hardik Pandya will need to bowl if he wants to play Test cricket for India. Now that he is not bowling and with the first two Tests to be played in Chennai, the team management would think hard on his inclusion.
KL Rahul is another option at number six. He missed out on the opportunity of playing the Test series against Australia with an injury. He will be given the first preference if India looks to go with seven proper batsmen in the XI.
