“Sarfaraz Khan Should Replace Shubman Gill In The Second Test” – In an enthralling opening match of the 5-match test series in Hyderabad, India and England clashed, showcasing a remarkable comeback by the visitors. Despite a substantial first-inning deficit, England, led by Joe Root‘s effective bowling, rallied back. India held a commanding 190-run lead after their innings, with English openers standing resilient. However, England, against the odds, persevered through Ollie Pope’s heroic 196, complemented by crucial partnerships with Foakes, Rehan Ahmed, and Hartley. Pope’s contributions extended beyond his stellar batting as he turned into a close-in fielder, taking two crucial catches.

Pata nahi ye Shubman Gill ko kyun No 3 par khilate hain, he always turned out to be a disaster at No3

Maybe Rajat, Devdutt or Sarfaraz Khan.— Anmol Kalra (@Krishna80768) January 28, 2024
How many more chances for Shubman Gill? Comparing his runs with Sarfaraz Khan's performance in domestic and across levels frustrates me. Perhaps it's time to give Sarfaraz a chance instead of Gill.
