Anuj Rawat put on the wicket-keeping gloves in the last fixture. Dinesh Karthik was used as an impact player. But Rawat got a mild injury during the second innings. If he is not available for today’s match, Suyash Prabhudessai will replace him and DK will play the role of wicket keeping.
Lockie Ferguson was seen practicing in the net. He might replace Alzarri Joseph due to latter’s por performance against CSK.
