IND vs AUS: 3 Players who can replace Shreyas Iyer in India squad for Test series
These players looked exceptional in the last few games they appeared in domestic cricket.
3. Sarfaraz Khan
In the Ranji Trophy 2022-23, Sarfaraz Khan played some scintilating innings with the bat. With 556 runs in eight innings of six matches, he went bonkers and claimed his domination over the opponents. The batter also hit three centuries and a half-century in the competition. Witnessing these colossal batting numbers from his bat, a lot of Indian fans were expecting him to get selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is scheduled to take place next month.
However, Sarfaraz’s name didn’t feature in the 17-member squad announced for the Australia series, which irked his fans. Some former cricketers such as Venkatesh Prasad and Irfan Pathan also expressed their disappointment after him being ignored from the squad.
However, if Iyer doesn’t get fit for the huge Test series, the 25-year-old could emerge as a top contender to replace him in the first two games. After facing a snub, he smashed his third century in the tournament. With his swashbuckling innings of 125 runs (155 deliveries) in the ongoing match against Delhi, he displayed his confidence again.
