Sudharsan, Jurel face spinners with only one pad on
Indian cricketers Sai Sudharsan and Dhruv Jurel adopt an unusual net session technique, batting with one pad to counter spin. Shubman Gill faces uncertainty for the second Test due to a neck injury. All-rounder Nitish Reddy joins the squad as a potential replacement. Gill will travel with the team to Guwahati. Reddy's arrival in Kolkata signals his readiness.
