#1. Sarfaraz Khan
Star Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan’s outstanding form in domestic cricket positions him as a strong contender to replace KL Rahul in the crucial middle-order spot for the upcoming Test. Known for his exceptional performances, Sarfaraz showcased his prowess in a recent unofficial Test against the England Lions, scoring a commendable 161 runs.
This stellar knock not only underlines his batting prowess but also makes a compelling case for his debut in the second Test, as he stands ready to take on the vital role left vacant by Rahul. The selectors are likely to consider Sarfaraz’s recent form as they aim to strengthen the middle-order lineup in the upcoming match.
