India vs Australia, Perth Test: After losing all three Test series at home against New Zealand, the Indian team is now ready to play Tests again. The Test series between India and Australia will begin on November 22. Rohit Sharma is missing from the first game and hence Jasprit Bumrah will take up captaincy duties. At the same time, there is a lot of talk about the XI, but who is going to talk about those who have no chance of making it into the XI? Although, which 11 players India will field will be known only after the game starts, judging from the current news, Sarfaraz Khan’s trump card may be cut off from the first test.
Sarfaraz Khan likely to drop out of first Test XI
Sarfaraz Khan’s international career remains short but his place in the Indian team is yet to be confirmed during this period. They were constantly in and out. He recently earned a place in the three-match series against New Zealand. After an innings of 150 in the first game, his bat was no longer that effective. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Indian team has to face consecutive defeats. During this period, he couldn’t even play his account twice. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to play in the first Test match in Perth.
Sarfaraz Khan career
If we talk about Sarfaraz’s career so far, he has played 6 games. He scored 371 runs in 11 innings. His name has been around for a century and three and a half centuries. Sarfaraz Khan currently has an average of 37.10 and a strike rate of 74.94. The performances he has shown in domestic cricket are something to look forward to in international cricket as well. Anyway, Sarfaraz joined the Test squad for the first time against Australia. In this case, it’s difficult but it has to be seen what decision Jasprit Bumrah and the team management take regarding him.

Dhruv Yurel might have a chance
The question now is, if Sarfaraz doesn’t play, who will get a chance? Dhruv Jurel is considered the top contender in this regard. He has scored 190 runs in three Tests so far. But how did he suddenly become a contender in the Indian XI? In fact, in the match between India and Australia A just now, Jurel scored half-centuries in both innings. He scored 80 points in the first game and 68 points in the second game. Following this, it was believed that Dhruv Jurel might get a chance in the eleventh match of the Perth Test match.
