India vs Australia, Perth Test: After losing all the matches of the three-Test series at home against New Zealand, now Team India is all set to enter the Test field again. Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Rohit Sharma is not in the first match, so Jasprit Bumrah will be seen taking over the captaincy. Meanwhile, there is a lot of talk about the playing XI, but who is going to talk about those who are not getting a chance in the playing XI. However, it will be clear only when the match starts which 11 players India will field, but the news coming out so far suggests that Sarfaraz Khan’s card may be cut from the first Test itself.
Sarfaraz Khan may be out of the playing XI for the first Test
Sarfaraz Khan still has a short international career, but meanwhile his place in Team India is not certain. They are constantly going in and out. Recently he got a place in three matches against New Zealand. After playing an innings of 150 runs in the first match, his bat did not work like that. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why Team India faced continuous defeats. He also failed to play his account twice during this period. In such a situation, it is very difficult for him to play in the first Test in Perth.
Career of Sarfaraz Khan
Talking about Sarfraz’s career so far, he has played 6 matches. He has scored 371 runs in his 11 innings. He has a century and 3 half-centuries to his name. Sarfaraz Khan is currently scoring runs at an average of 37.10 and a strike rate of 74.94. The kind of performance he has shown in domestic cricket is expected in international cricket as well. Anyway, Sarfraz has joined the Test team against Australia for the first time. In such a situation, it is difficult, but it remains to be seen what decision Jasprit Bumrah and the team management take about it.

Dhruv Jurrell may get a chance
Now the question is, if Sarfraz doesn’t play, who will get a chance? Dhruv Jurel is considered the biggest contender in this. He has scored 190 runs in three Tests so far. But how did he suddenly become such a big contender for India’s playing XI? In fact, recently an Indian team played a match against the Australia A team, Jurrell scored half-centuries in both innings. He scored 80 runs in the first innings and 68 runs in the second innings. After this it was believed that Dhruv Jurrell might get a chance in the playing eleven of the Perth Test.
