Sarfaraz Khan, who scored century after century, is not getting a chance, but Shubman Gill, who has an average of 15, is continuously in the team

The Indian cricket team offers many young players the opportunity to make their debut each year. Because of the intense competition, a player loses his spot on the team after one or two poor performances. However, despite frequent flops, some players do occasionally get opportunities. An excellent example of this from the past is Suryakumar Yadav. In the years leading up to the 2023 World Cup, he had plenty of ODI cricket opportunities. But they could not do anything special. The same is now happening with young opening batsman Shubhman Gill.

Shubman Gill is continuously flopping in Test cricket. Despite this, he is getting opportunities one after another. His performance in Test cricket has been below average. But they have not been able to do anything special till now. Be it a Test series at home or on foreign soil, Shubman Gill's condition remained the same. The situation is that in the last 11 innings, he has not even been able to touch the figure of 40. He has scored 173 runs in the last 11 Test innings at a modest average of 15.72. For some time now, Gill has been playing at number three in place of experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara.

On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan's bat is showing no sign of stopping. Be it Irani Trophy, Duleep Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy or Ranji Trophy, Sarfaraz is scoring a lot of runs in every tournament of Indian domestic cricket. Despite this, the selectors are not paying any attention. Sarfaraz, who broke Sir Don Bradman's record in the 2019-20 season of Ranji Trophy, has also scored more than 900 runs in the 2022-23 season of Ranji Trophy. Sarfaraz is the only player to score more than 900 runs in two consecutive Ranji seasons.

In addition, Sarfaraz recently scored a century in 89 balls against the England Lions while playing for India A. He has scored fourteen centuries in first-class cricket. In the most recent game versus the Lions, he had also scored fifty runs. Everyone is wondering, following his performance, when Sarfaraz Khan will get a chance to play for Team India. In a South African intrasquad game, he also scored a century. Sarfaraz has amassed 3912 runs in 45 first-class matches over 66 innings. His average and strike rate are both close to 70. Sarfaraz has amassed 14 centuries and 11 half-centuries during this time. 301 runs without a loss was his greatest inning.
