New Delhi . The Irani Cup 2024 match is being played in Lucknow between the teams of Ranji champion Mumbai and Rest of India. In this match, Mumbai's young batsman Sarfaraz Khan scored a double century and made a historic record in his name. This is the same batsman who got a place in Team India after many months but did not get a chance to play.
Sarfaraz has also become the first batsman of Mumbai team to score a double century in the history of Irani Cup. This young batsman has been performing well in domestic cricket for the last several years. On the basis of this ability, he got a place in the Test team against Bangladesh but did not get a chance in the playing11. After which he was released from Team India to play in the Irani Cup and he gave a befitting reply to everyone with the bat and presented another example of his ability to the world.
Sarfaraz Khan has once again staked claim for his place in Team India. Team India has to play the next Test series against New Zealand in its own home. In such a situation, it is considered certain that Sarfaraz Khan will be selected in the team once again, and if he proves this form here also, then it will be certain for him to go to Australia.
But the question is, why is Sarfaraz not getting a place in Team India despite performing consistently in the domestic circuit, and is he falling victim to team politics?
Now it is difficult to assess what is the conspiracy in this case, but we can definitely talk about the ground reality and facts. Actually, the bench strength of Team India is so strong that the game of inout is very complicated. Especially in the Test team, there are many such greats sitting on the bench, fitting them in the playing11 is a big challenge for the coach and captain.
However, if a player is performing consistently in the domestic circuit, he cannot be ignored. The hope is that Sarfaraz can be seen in both the team and playing11 against New Zealand.
