3 potential changes for Team India in second Test match against England

2. Sarfaraz Khan for KL Rahul

After a lengthy wait, Sarfaraz Khan has finally gotten his moment to play for India. Despite hitting a lot of runs in the Ranji Trophy, he was often ignored for various reasons. First, his fitness was questioned, followed by his IPL form and, last, his lack of discipline. But everything eventually comes to an end. He gets an opportunity now that KL Rahul is sidelined. Sarfaraz Khan produced a stunning 161 against the England Lions, following previous scores of 96 and 55. In recent encounters against South Africa A, he has scored 68 and 34. But it was the Ranji Trophy that he established his influence. He scored 982 runs in 2022. The next season, he scored 556 runs in only nine innings. Sarfaraz Khan’s average in 44 first-class matches is 68.20.
