Till the time of writing the news, Mumbai has scored 483 runs at the loss of 8 wickets.
Test debut against England
Sarfaraz made his Test debut for the Indian team against England in the year 2024. After this he has scored 200 runs including fifty in 3 test matches. His average was 50.00. Once he gets on the crease, it becomes difficult to get him out and he has scored runs in the last few series in domestic cricket. Apart from this, he has scored 4183 runs in 50 first-class matches and 629 runs in 37 List-A matches.
Will he get a chance in the playing eleven in the series against New Zealand?
KL Rahul got a chance in place of Sarfaraz Khan in the playing eleven of the Test series against Bangladesh, after which Rahul scored only one half-century in three innings. Rahul got a chance by keeping Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel out of Team India's playing eleven. After Bangladesh, now Team India has to play a test series against New Zealand, in which three matches will be played. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether Sarfaraz will be included in place of Rahul in the playing eleven of Team India or he will have to sit out once again. Rahul has so far scored 2969 runs in 52 test matches for the Indian team. During this period his average has been only 34.52.
