IND vs BAN: “I am feeling bad, when big players come…”, former veteran made a big statement about Rahul vs Sarfaraz
Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket – Krishnamachari Srikkanth KL Rahul, Kris Srikanth, and Sarfaraz Khan (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian cricket team is to play a two-match Test series at home against Bangladesh from September 19. The BCCI has announced the squad for the first Test, but choosing the playing 11 is going to be a big headache for head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. Because there will be competition among the players for some positions. In the middle order, Sarfaraz Khan will compete with KL Rahul for the number-5 spot, while the team has two wicketkeeping options in Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant. Meanwhile, former Indian player and BCCI chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth believes that the team management will put KL Rahul ahead of Sarfaraz Khan because he is a big player. That’s why the former legend feels bad for the young batsman Sarfaraz Khan. If a big player returns, you will have to lose your place- Chris Srikanth Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kris Srikkanth said, Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket. You may be playing well but when a big player returns, you will have to lose your place, for example Rishabh Pant is returning due to which Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are losing their place because KL Rahul is coming. Kris Srikkanth feels that KL Rahul will be preferred over Sarfaraz due to his overseas record. Sarfaraz Khan has played only one Test series so far, that too at home against England earlier this year. In the back of the mind, they are also keeping the Australia series. New Zealand is also coming. KL Rahul has done well overseas, he has done well in Australia. BCCI has not released Sarfaraz from the Duleep Trophy squad BCCI has made changes in the teams for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The players who have been selected in the team for the first Test against Bangladesh have been released from the Duleep Trophy. However, Sarfaraz Khan and Yash Dayal have been retained for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The reason behind not releasing Sarfaraz Khan is believed to be that he may not get a chance in the playing 11 of the Test against Bangladesh. The second round of Duleep Trophy 2024 will be played in Anantapur from September 12. At the same time, the first Test match between India and Bangladesh will be played in Chepauk from September 19. Team India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh- Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal

“I don’t see anything for Shreyas Iyer in Tests at the moment”- Big statement by Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra and Shreyas Iyer (Pic Source-Twitter) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the upcoming Test match against Bangladesh three days ago, in which many players have returned to the team. Left-arm fast bowler Yash Dayal has also been included in the team for the first time. However, one name that was missing from the list was that of Shreyas Iyer. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a big statement about Iyer. The former batsman believes that Iyer will not get a chance to play Test for the next few days. India toured Bangladesh in 2022, Aakash Chopra talked about Iyer’s performance in that series. However, he rightly pointed out that his performance has not been that good since then. Chopra says that for this reason, Iyer may not be thinking much about Test cricket right now. Shreyas Iyer will not get a place in Test cricket right now- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra, while answering a question asked by a commentator in a video uploaded on YouTube recently, said, “It is interesting that the last time we beat Bangladesh in Bangladesh, Shreyas Iyer played a very crucial performance in the last match. We won because he played a crucial innings, but since then, the world has changed. I don’t see any prospects for Shreyas Iyer in Tests at the moment.” Talking about Iyer’s position in the team, Chopra said that there were at least three players from the current setup whom he could think of who would not get a place for the first Test, which shows how far Iyer is in this race. The former cricketer further said, “Whoever is there will not be able to play all the matches. Those who are part of this team, including Sarfaraz, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel. I think they themselves will not be able to get into the playing XI. So where will Shreyas Iyer come in this?”

IND vs BAN: Brad Hogg selected India’s probable playing XI for the first test, showed Rahul and Akshar the way out
The first Test between India and Bangladesh will be played from November 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. KL Rahul and Brad Hogg (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian cricket team is going to be seen in action very soon. It is worth noting that the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) is going to start from November 19. The first match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from November 19. So now former Australian player Brad Hogg has selected the Indian cricket team for this match. But you will be surprised to know that he has not given place to all-rounder Akshar Patel and experienced batsman KL Rahul, who are in great form, in this team. Apart from this, he has decided to play left-right batting player Ravindra Jadeja at number five in his team. Let us tell you that KL Rahul played for the India A team in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, in which he also scored a half-century in the second innings of the first match played at M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru. On the other hand, Jadeja has not played any competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, it is natural to have doubts on Hogg’s decision. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg said- The playing XI I am going with for India for the first Test match against Bangladesh is- Jaiswal, Rohit will open the batting. Gill at No. 3, Kohli at No. 4, and left-hander Ravindra Jadeja at No. 5 to maintain the left-right hand combination. Then there is Sarfaraz Khan, Pant and then you have bowlers where you have Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Siraj and Bumrah. Brad Hogg’s selection of India’s team against Bangladesh Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.
