18 players of Team India, who are playing Border Gavaskar Trophy, are currently in Australia. There is one player in this team whose performance has been very poor in the last few matches but despite this, this player has secured a place in the team based on his flattery. We are talking about Sarfaraz Khan, who has been struggling with the bat for some time now and he is not even seen practicing in Australia, so why is he not in the team? 

Did you get any benefit from friendship with Rohit?

Rohit Sharma and Sarfaraz Khan are considered good friends. Videos and pictures of these two keep coming out often. So is this the reason why Sarfaraz Khan is not being dropped from Team India? Because his performance has not shown any strength. He is not even seen practicing during the practice sessions in Australia. From this, it is clear that he is not going to get a place in the playing 11 of this series.

His bat was silent even in the practice matches played. But he has managed to secure a place in the team. Recently, in the 3-match Test series played against New Zealand, he scored only one century, apart from that he was a complete flop. Still, he has been made a part of the squad on the Kangaroo tour.

Who can replace Sarfraz?

If Sarfaraz Khan is dropped from Team India, then many players deserve to be in Team India in his place. Shreyas Iyer has consistently performed well in Ranji and has also won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Mumbai. Iyer’s bat is also on fire in domestic cricket. On the other hand, Prithvi Shaw can also be given a chance. When Sarfaraz Khan can get a place in the team, then Prithvi can also be given a chance once. Team India should consider Sarfaraz.
