Sarfaraz Khan got injured, came out of the net holding his right hand, will he be able to play in Perth Test?

New Delhi. The first Test match of the 5-match series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Before this test match, middle order batsman Sarfaraz Khan got injured. Sarfaraz suffered an injury to his right elbow during net practice. Although he did not need an MRI. In a video posted by ‘Fox Cricket’, Mumbai’s Sarfaraz is shown holding his right hand while coming out of the net.

Sarfaraz Khan was looking a bit uncomfortable while coming back from the nets, however it is learned that the injury is not serious and the batsman did not need to get an MRI done. Sarfaraz can play in the first test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Because there is doubt about Indian captain Rohit Sharma playing in the first test. Rohit is still in Mumbai for the birth of his second child.

IND vs SA T20: 25 runs were needed from 6 balls…the bowler single-handedly turned the tables, snatched victory from the jaws of the opposition team.

Scored 2 triple centuries in 1 match… Partnership of 606 runs, victory by 551 runs, still the great record was not broken.

Sarfaraz’s place can be made in the middle order
If Rohit is not available for the first match of the series, then Lokesh Rahul may be asked to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Due to which a place will be created for Sarfaraz in the middle order. Sarfaraz made a place in the Indian team due to his excellent performance in domestic cricket and also scored his first Test century in the home series against New Zealand. However, it will be a different kind of challenge for Sarfaraz against a strong bowling attack in the challenging conditions of Australia.

Dhruv Jurel is giving competition to Sarfaraz
Apart from this, talented Dhruv Jurel is also a contender for a place in the eleven after his impressive performance against Australia A at the MCG. Sarfaraz has scored 371 runs in six matches at an average of 37.10 after making his Test debut in February. Apart from the century in Bengaluru, Sarfaraz had to struggle in the other five innings against New Zealand and could score only 21 runs. This 27-year-old will have to face a tough challenge from bowlers like Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc on the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.
