Second Test between India and England might end in 3 or 4 days: Aakash Chopra

India and England lock horns for the second of the four-match Test series at the M A Chidambaram Stadium. Joe Root & Co. are leading the series 1-0 with their 227-run win in the first Test in Chennai. Both teams are going to play their second match at the same venue, but the pitch is expected to be different this time. In the opening encounter, the first two days of the game were not helpful for the bowlers. It was a flat track and the visitors fully utilised it by batting for two consecutive days.

The Indian team fell behind and struggled to score runs as well as take wickets. England put up a mammoth 578-run target. In response, India missed their chances to chase the target and ultimately fell behind by a massive margin of 227 runs.  

Former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra has indicated that it won't be the same case in the second match. The second Test is going to be very crucial for Virat Kohli and team. Chopra has anticipated that the second contest can conclude in 3 and a half or four days.

A lot depends on how the pitches in India are prepared: Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra reckoned that a lot depends on how the pitches are prepared in India. He stated that winning the toss won't play a huge factor in this match as the pitch will offer something for the bowlers.

Before the second Test's commencement, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane mentioned that the pitch looks completely different this time. The batsman believes that it will turn from day one. India will be under pressure to win the second Test against England to level the series. The hosts will have to get the better of England in the remaining three Tests if they have to stand a chance to qualify for the ICC World Test Championship final.
