(Photo Source: X(Twitter) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that India should play Sarfaraz Khan before Devdutt Padikkal in the third Test against England. The important third match of the five-match series will be played in Rajkot from Thursday, February 15. Shreyas Iyer was dropped from the team for the remaining matches and KL Rahul was also ruled out of the third Test due to injury. In such a situation, the debut of either Sarfaraz or Padikkal is expected. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra admitted that Padikkal has been in great form recently. However, he argued that Sarfaraz should be given priority before the Karnataka batsman (Devdutt Padikkal). Sarfaraz Khan should get a chance in the third test match- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra Said that, “Either Sarfaraz or Devdutt Padikkal will make his debut. The simple answer to the question is that it should be Sarfaraz because he has been scoring runs for a long time. It is not that Devdutt Padikkal has not been scoring runs for a long time.” The former opener further said, “If you look at this season separately, there is no one in better form than Devdutt Padikkal. This is the right time to give a chance to someone, but Sarfaraz had come into the team before him, just like Rajat Patidar had come before him. You gave a chance to Patidar first. So it is your duty to play Sarfaraz in this match.” Sarfaraz has scored 3912 runs in 45 first class matches at an excellent average of 69.85. Padikkal’s performance has not been that good, he has scored 2227 runs in 31 first class matches this year at an average of 44.54, including four centuries.

And why are players sending wrong signals by posting videos of their batting on Instagram Stories? BCCI official says that Rahul shared the video, that is why they felt that he is fit to play. In the press release, BCCI had said, “KL Rahul, whose availability for the remaining three Test matches was dependent on fitness, has been ruled out of the third Test against England in Rajkot. “Rahul has reached 90 percent match fitness and is making good progress under the supervision of the BCCI and the medical team.” Karnataka’s promising left-handed batsman Devdutt Padikkal has been named as Rahul’s replacement for now. In his most recent Ranji Trophy match, 23-year-old Padikkal scored 151 and chairman of selection committee Ajit Agarkar was watching his innings from the stands.

No matter what happens, Ishan Kishan will not play for Team India for a year, the team management has conspired
India’s young wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan has not been seen playing for the national team for a long time. Ishan Kishan (Pic Source-Twitter) The Indian team is currently playing a five-match Test series against England. Ishan Kishan has not been seen playing for the Indian team in this test series. Let us tell you, India’s young wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan has not been seen playing for the national team for a long time. Ishan Kishan was last included in the Indian team for the ICC ODI World Cup 2019. He played only two matches in this entire tournament but the young player left his mark in this tournament with his batting. After the ICC ODI World Cup 2019, the Indian team toured T20 series against Australia and South Africa. Ishan Kishan was neither seen playing in the T20 series played against Australia nor in the South Africa tour. The question that is arising in the minds of many people is why Ishan Kishan is not being given a chance in the national team. Not only this, in place of Kishan, other young players have been included in the Indian team as wicketkeeper batsmen. Then senior sports journalist Abhishek Tripathi has made a big revelation regarding this. Abhishek Tripathi recently revealed on Cricket Gyan that he was told by a BCCI official that Ishan Kishan will not be seen playing for the Indian team for 1 year. Here’s the video: Team management is doing all the work of Ishan Kishan, @cricketgyann But a shocking revelation@rajeevmish @abhishereporter #IshanKishan #BCCI #TeamIndia #RohitSharma #ViratKohli #IPL2024 #cricketnews #cricketupdates #Cricketgyan — Cricket Gyan (@cricketgyann) February 10, 2024 Abhishek Tripathi said, ‘Things were going well with Ishan Kishan till the Asia Cup, but after that suddenly KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer entered the team, who before that were recovering from their injuries in NCA. Despite this, Ishan Kishan was given some chances but as soon as the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 ended, BCCI completely ignored Ishan Kishan. I don’t even know what is the main reason behind this but it did not go well with the young player. Recently I met a BCCI official who told me that Ishan Kishan will not return to the Indian team for 1 year. I don’t understand why other players like KS Bharat and Jitesh Sharma are being included in the team instead of giving a chance to Ishan Kishan. KL Rahul was the first choice as wicketkeeper in your England tour but in the press conference, Rahul Dravid said that we will include him in the team only as a batsman. KS Bharat has been played as wicketkeeper in two Tests so far. A big mistake made by Ishan Kishan was that he refused to play in Ranji Trophy. Now apart from this, if he wants to perform well and make a comeback in the Indian team, then he will have to show his strength in the IPL itself. Ishan Kishan should have made himself available for Ranji Trophy. 5 teams that have won the Under 19 World…
