India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Predicted XI: Will Ajinkya Rahane retain his place as Virat Kohli returns?

India's predicted XI vs New Zealand, 2nd Test: Ajinkya Rahane has had an ordinary run with the bat in recent Test tours and may have to make way for regular captain Virat Kohli in the Mumbai Test.

India will be boosted with the return of regular captain Virat Kohli when they take on World Test Champions New Zealand in the second and final match of the two-Test series at the Wankhede Stadium from Friday.

While Kohli's return will be a welcome boost for the Indian side, it will also mean that one of the top-order batsmen will have to sit out to make way for the regular skipper. In Kohli's absence, Mumbai's Shreyas Iyer pulled off a dream Test debut with a first-innings 105 followed by a crucial 65 in the second.
