Rahul has been progressing well from the quad injury suffered in the first Test at Hyderabad. He was on course to return for Rajkot. It was eventually decided that he should sit out as he was only '90 percent fit', as per a BCCI medical bulletin. If Rahul returns, Rajat Patidar, who hasn't had a big score in his first two Tests, may make way.
India's 434 run-win at Rajkot is their biggest ever in terms of runs. This, after they had scored 445 and 430 runs in their two innings. That gives an idea of how poor England were with the bat. After being 207/2 at the end of Day 2 to be 319 all out, they were skittled out for 122 in the fourth innings.
