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 didn’t need an MRI. In a video posted by Fox Cricket, Mumbai’s Sarfaraz can be seen holding his right hand while coming out of the net.

Sarfaraz Khan looked a bit uncomfortable as he came back from the nets. However, it is learned that the injury is not serious and the batsman did not require an MRI scan. Sarfaraz can play in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Because there are doubts whether Indian captain Rohit Sharma will play in the first Test. Rohit is still in Mumbai for the birth of his second child.

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

Scored 2 triple centuries in 1 game…606 run partnership, won by 551 runs, yet the major record was not broken.

The place of Sarfaraz can be created in the middle order
If Rohit is unavailable for the first game of the series, Lokesh Rahul may be asked to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. This will create a place for Sarfaraz in the middle order. Sarfaraz secured a place in the Indian team due to his excellent performances in domestic cricket and also scored his first Test century in the home series against New Zealand. However, it will be a very different kind of challenge for Sarfaraz against a strong bowling attack in Australia’s difficult conditions.

Dhruv Jurel is giving Sarfaraz a run for his money
Apart from this, the talented Dhruv Jurel is also a contender for a place in the XI after his impressive performance against Australia A at the MCG. Sarfaraz has scored 371 runs in six games at an average of 37.10 after making his Test debut in February. Apart from the century in Bengaluru, Sarfaraz struggled in the other five innings against New Zealand and could only score 21 runs. The 27-year-old faces a tough challenge from bowlers such as Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc on Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches.
