By: Tupaki Desk | 22 Jan 2024 11:19 AM GMTTeam India started the new year on a good note and had a memorable time so far. The Men In Blue was part of the shortest match in the Test format and the longest game in T20 history. Team India won both matches and added a precious feather to its illustrious cap.
After a memorable performance, team India is all set for the big test. India will face England for a test series at home. The cricket experts are eagerly waiting for the series to see how Bazball cricket will excel in India. England has been putting up aggressive show in the longest format.
Ahead of the Bazball challenge team India faced a big blow as King Kohli will not be a part of the first two tests. Virat Kohli pulled himself out of the two tests for personal reasons. The BCCI announced this saying that Virat Kohli communicated this to Rohit Sharma and the management. Who will replace Virat Kohli will be announced soon.
With this, the speculations were raised on who will be the replacement of Virat Kohli. The Run machine is one of the best players India produced and replacing him is not an easy task. His presence in the team will bring balance and strength to the batting department.
While the BCCI is yet to announce Virat Kohli’s replacement, people wonder if this would open the doors for Sarfaraz Khan in the Test format. For a very long time, we have been hearing about Sarfaraz Khan making an entry to the test team. In first-class cricket, he has been showing his class.
Despite the terrific first-class season, Sarfaraz Khan was not given a space in the team due to big competition. People like Sunil Gavaskar also wonder why he won't get selected. When he was not selected for the West Indies series Sunil Gavaskar questioned the call.
With Virat Kohli’s absence will the doors open for Sarfaraz Khan is the question many have. The first test will start on the 25th of this month. Only a few days are left and the BCCI will give clarity on this.
