Vizag Cricket Stadium Test Records: India and England are set to take on each other in the second Test of the five-match series at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam starting on 2nd February. England are already 1-0 up after a famous 28-run victory against the hosts in the first Test in Hyderabad after trailing by 190 runs in the first innings. The visitors shown a great performance in their second innings and posted 420 runs powered by a 196-run knock by Ollie Pope that helped England to make a comeback in the match.
On the other hand, the hosts India who were looking as favorites to win the test match after bowling England out for 246 runs on day 1 and scoring 436 runs in their first innings, somehow lost their control over the game and let the match slip away from their hands even after a big lead. Chasing a target of 231 runs on day 4, the Indian team kept losing wickets at regular intervals and got bowled out for 202 runs.
Now, India will be looking to make a comeback by winning the second Test in Vizag and level the series by 1-1. However, it won’t be an easy task for the hosts who are already playing without their key player Virat Kohli in the first two Tests and also lost KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja ahead of the second Test due to injuries. However, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Sourabh Kumar have been announced as replacements and are likely to play in the second Test.
