Now the star player of Team India has reached Chennai
India vs Bangladesh Sarfaraz Khan: The Indian cricket team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma is currently in Chennai. The first match of the Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played just three days from now. Team India was already announced for the first Test. Therefore, all the players have reached Chennai. Meanwhile, the players who were selected in the Indian team also missed the second match of Duleep Trophy, but Sarfaraz Khan was playing the second match. But now he has also reached Chennai, such news is coming. But the question is whether he will be a part of Team India in the playing eleven of the first Test.
Sarfraz reached Chennai after playing the second match of Duleep Trophy
Sarfaraz Khan is the only player who has been selected in the team for the first Test against Bangladesh, but has not yet reached Chennai. He was busy in the Duleep Trophy match, it is another matter that his bat did not produce many runs for his team, but he has got match practice. He got to play one innings in the second match and he could score only 16 runs. He is in Chennai now, but there is very little chance that he will get a place in the playing eleven of the first Test.
Either Sarfaraz or KL Rahul will get a chance
The reason for this is that India’s top 4 is almost decided. Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli will come at their respective numbers. After this, if we talk about number 5, then Sarfaraz has a claim here, but along with him KL Rahul is also a contender to play at this number. Rahul is already associated with Team India, so his being in the playing eleven seems stronger. That is, it is possible that Sarfaraz may not be seen playing even after joining the team. Because after number five, Rishabh Pant will come, who will be seen playing as a wicketkeeper batsman.
Sarfaraz’s performance for Team India has been like this so far
If we talk about Sarfaraz’s Test career so far, he has scored 200 runs in 5 innings of 3 Tests for India. Here his average is around 50 and he is scoring runs at a strike rate of 79. He has also scored three half-centuries during this period. However, if we talk about first-class cricket, he has scored a lot of runs there. On this basis, he was selected in the Indian team. But now it has to be seen what decision Rohit Sharma takes regarding the playing eleven. At the same time, when the committee sits to select the team for the second Test, which team will it choose?
