After India’s eight-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the first Test, Sarfaraz Khan’s position in the team is in question, despite his crucial 150-run knock. Sarfaraz was brought in as a replacement for Shubman Gill, who missed out due to a stiff neck. However, Gill appears ready to return for the second Test, creating a selection dilemma for the team management. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra referenced Karun Nair’s exclusion after his 303* in 2016, suggesting Sarfaraz could face a similar fate. However, outside pressure may favor Sarfaraz's inclusion for the next game.
