Former West Indies powerhouse Chris Gayle couldn’t conceal his excitement as Sarfaraz Khan was called up for the IND vs ENG 2nd Test. Khan, who has been in phenomenal form in the domestic circuit, was named in the squad along with Washington Sundar and Saurabh Kumar. The three paved their way into the side after KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were ruled out, besides Virat Kohli’s absence.
Gayle cheers Sarfaraz’s inclusion in IND vs ENG squad
Sarfaraz has been a prolific run-getter in domestic cricket for the past three seasonsw. His recent stellar performance for India A, a magnificent 161 against England Lions, solidified his claim for a national spot.
Jadeja’s all-round skills and Rahul’s consistent batting will be greatly missed. Washington Sundar, with his promising talent, is a likely contender to replace Jadeja in the playing eleven.
