1st Test: Sarfaraz, Kuldeep Come In As India Elect To Bat First Against NZ
Sarfaraz Khan: Sarfaraz Khan and Kuldeep Yadav come into India’s playing eleven as captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first against New Zealand in the opening Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday.
With rain washing out day one’s play on Wednesday, it means the Test series opener has effectively become a four-day affair. After winning the toss, Rohit said Shubman Gill isn't 100% fit due to neck stiffness, so Sarfaraz is back into the playing eleven after the Dharamshala Test against England in March.
In Gill’s absence, KL Rahul has been slotted in as the number three batter for India. Meanwhile, Kuldeep has been picked as the third spinner alongside Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja ahead of pacer Akash Deep.
