Sarfaraz Khan Hugs Father, Wipes Off Wife’s Tears After Getting Test Cap – Watch | Cricket News

[ad_1] Emotions ran high in the Indian team's huddle this morning when domestic batting star Sarfaraz Khan and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel were handed their Test caps on debut, before the start of play for the third Test against England on Thursday.

Having received his maiden India call-up earlier in the series, Sarfaraz was in line for debut ever since India lost the services o...

Sarfaraz Khan Handed Test Cap By Anil Kumble. Father Can’t Control His Tears – Watch | Cricket News

[ad_1] It was a huge moment for Sarfaraz Khan as the 26-year-old batter was handed his debut ahead of the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot on Thursday.

“There Is Instability”: Ex-India Star On Wicket-Keeping Conundrum In Tests | Cricket News

[ad_1] Parthiv Patel understands the need for KS Bharat to make a statement with the willow but the former India wicketkeeper wouldn't mind giving the Andhra glovesman one more match taking his impeccable glovework into account during the first two Tests against England. Bharat, who has played seven Tests so far, is yet to score a half-century and there is a possibility that Dhruv Jurel might get a look in for his superior batting abilities. Parthiv, who played 25 Tests for India, acknowledged that there is a bit of instability in the Indian Test set-up as far as wicket-keeping is concern...

“Dhruv Jurel Looks More Exciting Investment At This Stage”: Sanjay Manjrekar | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that Team India should try Dhruv Jurel for the third Test against England at Rajkot, saying that the young wicketkeeper-batter looks a more "exciting investment". The third Test between India and England will take place on Rajkot from Thursday onwards. The series is level at 1-1. In the absence of stars like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli etc and KS Bharat's poor performances with the bat, the Indian middle-order could boast of new stars from the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Ranji Trophy circuit like Rajat Patidar, Devdutt Padik...

India’s Predicted XI vs England, 3rd Test: Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel To Debut? | Cricket News

[ad_1] India will be squaring off against England in the third Test from Thursday in Rajkot. The five-match series is currently levelled 1-1 after the hosts bounced back in style and registered a victory 106 runs in the second Test. An injury-hit India could well go with two debutants in domestic run-machine Sarfaraz Khan and hard-hitting keeper-batter Dhruv Jurel on a track that will be quite similar to the first two Test matches. With Shreyas Iyer being dropped and KL Rahul yet to recover, doors have opened for Sarfaraz, who has been one of the most prolific performers in Ranji Trophy. ...
