The Mumbaikar, after scoring a blistering ton in Bengaluru against New Zealand in 2024, has tapered off.
The former Indian cricketer has voted to go with Dhruv Jurel in the playing XI instead of Sarfaraz.
So, I would want him to start in the playing XI.
Sarfaraz has done nothing wrong, but he is coming in as a replacement.
For me, going forward, the key for the Indian team is the kind of consistency we show in the way we play and pick sides, and also the messaging,” Murali Kartik told Sony Sports.
