The visitors had struck first in the series, winning by 28 runs in Hyderabad. The likes of Ollie Pope (196) and Tom Hartley (7/62) starred as the visitors overcame a 190-run first innings deficit and pull off a massive victory.
India made three changes to their starting line-up for the second Test. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and batter KL Rahul, who were India’s top two scorers in the first innings, suffered injuries and were replaced by Kuldeep Yadav and debutant Rajat Patidar respectively.
The third, perhaps more suprising, change saw Mohammed Siraj rested and Bengal pacer Mukesh Kumar playing his first Test match on home soil.

Mukesh came into the spotlight with his performances for Delhi Capitals in the IPL, but had been a fixture on the domestic red ball scene for quite a while. He made his Test debut on India’s tour of West Indies in July 2023, and next played against South Africa in Cape Town in December 2023.
The second Test against England is Mukesh’s first in India, where his Ranji Tropy performances over the years have caught the eye. Originally hailing from Gopalganj in Bihar, his move to Kolkata in 2012 enabled him to break through in domestic cricket, representing Bengal.
His debut came in the 2015/16 season, against Haryana in Rohtak. Bowling in the second innings, Mukesh took the wickets of Rahul Dewan, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dalal and Harshal Patel to help his side gain a 104-run first innings lead. He also recorded figures of 6/40 for India ‘A’ against Bangladesh ‘A’ in December 2022, as the oppositiong were bowled out for 252.
