We will again assess it tomorrow as well when he comes in for a light hit and see how he feels," the head coach added.</p> <p class="p1">"But certainly, if he is ready to take the load of a five-day Test match, then without doubt, with his performances in the past, he will walk straight into the side."</p> <p class="p1"><strong>Squads:</strong></p> <p class="p1"><strong>India:</strong> Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (injured and yet to recover), KS Bharat (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), R.
