“We will know if they can replace them or not”- DK reveals the names of Pujara and Rahane’s replacements

Dinesh Karthik will be seen playing in Legends League Cricket. Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Getty Images) At the end of the year 2024, Team India will tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Test Series. On this tour, Team India will be eyeing a hat-trick of victories. The Indian team has managed to beat the Kangaroos on their own land the last two times, so this time Team India will be eyeing to beat Australia in their own home for the third time in a row. However, this task is not going to be easy for Team India. In fact, many Indian players who were part of the last two Australian tours are no longer part of the current Test team. In such a situation, Team India will have to look for new players. The biggest tension in front of captain Rohit Sharma will be to find replacements for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Both these players played an important role in India’s victory on the last Australia tour. Recently, when former Team India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik was asked about the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane on the Australia tour, he named Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Dinesh Karthik’s statement on the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane During a Q&A session with Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Both these batsmen have done really well against England in the recent home series earlier in the year. I think both of them will definitely fly to Australia and try to do their best. We will know if they can replace both Ajinkya and Pujji (Pujara). They have a big role to play, but they have the quality and caliber.” Let us tell you that the doors of return to Team India have closed for Rahane and Pujara. Ajinkya Rahane recently scored his 40th first class century against Glamorgan while playing for Leicestershire in Division 2 of County Cricket in England. However, Pujara has been away from competitive cricket for a long time. BCCI did not give place to both Rahane and Pujara in the four squads selected for the Duleep Trophy.
