Indian captain Virat Kohli, who is known to play around with the team combination, has never opted for the same team in two consecutive Test matches since the time he took over as India captain from MS Dhoni. Kohli is known to tweak and change with the playing 11 and is a firm believer of horses for courses. The second Test against Australia in Bengaluru is Kohli’s 25th as captain and do far he has never opted for the same 11 in two back-to-back Test matches. Given the fact that a lot of factors are taken into consideration — like the playing conditions, the pitch and the venue, Kohli has always gone with a combination that will be ideal in the given scenario.
In second test two, he replaced jayant yadav with a extra batsman Karun nair, as he felt his batsman were responsible for the first test drubbing.
