Sarfaraz Khan: 2 match test series is going on between India and Bangladesh. The first match of this series was played in Chennai, which India won by 280 runs. Now the second and last match will be played in Kanpur from 27th November. As soon as the first Test was over, BCCI had announced that there would be no changes in the team for the next match also. In such a situation, the possibility of change in the playing eleven is very less. Meanwhile, discussions regarding Sarfaraz Khan have intensified.
Gambhir's move against Sarfaraz
Sarfaraz Khan's performance while debuting in the home series against England this year was quite brilliant. This is the reason why he was given a place in the Indian squad for the series against Bangladesh, but head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma did not give him a place in the playing eleven. In his place, KL Rahul, who was struggling with poor form, was fielded. Now it seems certain that Sarfaraz will be kept on the bench in the Kanpur Test also.
Leave from domestic also
Due to selection in the team, Sarfaraz could not participate in the final stage of Duleep Trophy. He was part of India A, but could not play the last match of the tournament against India D. At the same time, his participation in the Irani Trophy also seems doubtful. In such a situation, questions are being raised that if KL Rahul's place in the playing eleven was confirmed, then why was he not allowed to play domestic cricket. Some fans allege that by making him sit on the bench like this, Gautam Gambhir is deliberately playing with Sarfaraz Khan's career.
This has been the performance
26-year-old Sarfaraz Khan scored 200 runs in 5 innings of 3 test matches against England at an average of 50. At the same time, his first class record is also quite excellent. He has scored 4183 runs in 74 innings of 50 matches at an average of 66.39, which also includes 14 centuries and 14 half-centuries.
