- Sarfaraz Khan’s explosive performance was seen. He wreaked havoc with the bat and thrashed the bowlers by hitting fours and sixes.
Sarfaraz Khan: The Border Gavaskar Trophy is going to start in a few hours now. The biggest battle between India and Australia will take place from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Before the Perth Test, Indian young batsman Sarfaraz Khan has come into the limelight in Australia, because his innings of 168 runs has created a stir on social media. Now let us tell you in detail when and where he played this innings…
Sarfaraz Khan played an aggressive innings of 168 runs?
Actually, a tweet about Sarfaraz Khan is going viral on social media from a parody account, in which it is being claimed that Sarfaraz has wreaked havoc in Team India’s practice session by scoring 168 runs. He has scored these runs in 78 balls with the help of 12 sixes. Let us tell you that the Indian team has definitely practiced. But there is no official information about the runs scored by this Mumbai batsman.
Sarfraz’s performance against New Zealand was poor
If we talk about Sarfaraz Khan’s recent form, it is very disappointing. The team management preferred him over KL Rahul on the home ground. But he was able to perform well only in one match, in the rest of the matches he disappointed. In the Test series against New Zealand, he was able to score only 171 runs in 6 innings at an average of 28.50. This figure is not in favor of the 26-year-old batsman. This is the reason why his chances of making it to Team India’s playing eleven in the first Test against Australia are very low.

Dhruv Jurel will get a chance in place of Sarfaraz
The team management can include Dhruv Jurel in the playing eleven in place of Sarfaraz Khan. It is worth noting that Dhruv is included in the Indian team as the second wicketkeeper. But Pant is the choice for the first wicketkeeper. Also, Jurel’s recent performance has also been very good. In such a situation, he will not be ignored.
He played a crucial innings in both the innings of the second match against Australia A. Of course, the Indian team could not win. But Dhruv impressed with his batting performance, which can benefit him in Team India’s playing eleven in the Perth Test. This is the reason why Mumbai’s Sarfaraz was seen warming the bench in the first match.
