- Team India has to play Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia next month. But, before this series, Sarfaraz Khan has increased the tension of Rohit Sharma and company with his poor performance….
Sarfaraz Khan was included in the 3-match Test series against New Zealand. He got a chance to play in 2 Test matches under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. But, if we exclude his 150-run innings in that series, Sarfaraz has proved to be a flop in 3 innings. In such a situation, questions have arisen on his batting that when he is scoring runs in India, then how will he be able to score runs against a strong team like Australia abroad. Will Sarfaraz keep warming the bench due to his poor performance?
Bad shot selection by Sarfaraz Khan
India got a target of 147 runs to win the match in the third Test. While defending this small total, Team India’s huge batting faltered once again. In the second innings, India lost 5 wickets at a score of 29 runs. After Virat Kohli was out, Sarfaraz Khan came to bat. He was expected to bat keeping the delicate conditions in mind. But, as soon as he came, he played a bad shot and got caught out on a full-toss ball by Ajaz Patel. Team India got into trouble due to his poor shot selection. He still needs to work a lot on how to bat in such a situation.
Showing heroism in bad conditions proved costly
Team India has to play Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia next month. Sarfaraz Khan has been selected in the squad for this series. But, after playing an innings of 150 runs, Sarfaraz started showing heroism against New Zealand. But, he should know that there is a huge difference between domestic cricket and international cricket. You have to bat according to the conditions and circumstances, otherwise the result can be bad. But, the way Sarfaraz showed his thinking in bad conditions against New Zealand can prove fatal for Team India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Flopped in 3 consecutive innings against New Zealand
Sarfaraz Khan has increased the tension of not only head coach Gautam Gambhir, captain Rohit Sharma but also the selectors with his poor performance. Because, including an inexperienced Border Gavaskar Trophy player in the Test series against Australia can prove to be costly. Sarfaraz has proved to be a flop in 3 innings against New Zealand. He has scored 0, 9 and 11 runs in the last innings.
