1.Rahanewith strings of low scores and failing to standup under pressure with bat in England and emergence of gill in tests has put his spot under pressure with several test middle order batsman already in South Africa it will be the series to prove in nz series. And previously also Rahane lost his place in series against South Africa.
2. Saha
he was India's front line keeper till first test against Australia he was constantly backed because of his keeping skills being ahead of pant. But now pant has improved his keeping skill and become more dependable batsman it pushed saha to almost a exit from squad. They have included srikar barath which is a symbolic sign that with the age factor also going against him if he fails he will mostly loss his place.
3. Ishant sharma
with prashid krishna started to impress the Indian management and ishant injury concerns might force to bring krishna in place of ishant and also they are backing a new young left arm swing bowler nagwaswalla he was selected in India a which is going to tour South Africa. (Tap to see)
4. Mayank Agarwal
Mayank Agarwal in recent times lost his test form and kl rahul has found the secret of success in tests so he automatically made him the lead opener for test side. Indian management is keen on playing gill at any number so if he fails again then we can see gill becoming backup opener
5.Pujara
Indian management clearly unhappy with approach of pujara that he even playing at higher strike rate against England. He also lost his ability to play new ball. His approach in recent times is he used to face 100 balls but scores at less then 30 strike rate even after getting settled he is failing to score and gets out on odd ball which is affecting team total as a result now selectors have went for iyer who is an aggressive test batsman who can do both aggressive and defensive play.
Important players to watch out in India a vs sa series who might replace one of the above:
1.devdutt padikkal:
with absence of a left hander in top 5 it was sometimes becoming easy for opposition to trouble India so they already asked for him as replacement in England tests.
2.Hanuma vihari vs Baba aparajith
in ranji trophies both have huge numbers and both does the same role batting middle order and bowling some overs. Baba aparajith has scored close to 4000 runs and also took close to 50 wickets. Vihari on other hand has 7261 runs and has 27 wickets and was in and out of Indian test side. So either of them or both can become the backup middle order batsmans
3.Arzan nagwaswalla:
India due to lack of variety they are being pushed to being dominated so India might look to add nagwaswalla who is a left handed swing bowler which will be a great inclusion if he gets success so all eyes will be on his performance.
4. Priyank Panchal vs Abhimanyu easwaran:
abhimanyu easwaran with being included in previous test series he will be a strong contender to be the backup batsman for Indian team but he is not the only competitor there is Priyank Panchal who has been consistent for a long time now in Indian domestic
