regarding sarfaraz

Deep Dasgupta: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta has suggested that the senior national selectors might have hesitated to pick Sarfaraz Khan in the squad for the second Test against England due to his perceived lack of runs in big matches. Dasgupta also shared his views on India's playing XI for the second Test advocating for skipper Rohit Sharma to bat at No. 4.

With K.L. Rahul sidelined due to a right quadriceps issue, Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar find themselves in India's squad for the second Test. Both of them are in the running to fill in the vacant spot in the Playing XI.

Dasgupta delved into the selection dynamics, acknowledging Sarfaraz's consistent form but pointing out the challenges of finding a spot in a competitive lineup.
