"Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja are back. Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar miss out. Looks like a good pitch, better than the last two we've played on. Rajkot is known to be a good pitch but it'll deteriorate as the game progresses. The guys have stood up and done the job for the team when it was needed. The next three Test matches will be as exciting as the first two. Need to keep our focus here and see how we can do well." The captain did miss the name, but even KS Bharat is also out as Jurel will keep wickets for the Men in Blue.

As for the English side, they have made just one change - Mark Wood has come in place of Shoaib Bashir."
