Sarfaraz Khan had played an inning of 150 runs in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand two months ago in October. After this he was talked about everywhere. He started being given opportunities continuously. KL Rahul was left out of the team and was played in every match. But as December approached, his world changed completely. While he had a solid place in the team, now he is not even getting the chance to practice properly. A picture of him has come from Australia, which has surprised.
After the inning of 150 runs played in the Bangalore Test, Sarfaraz got opportunities to play matches in all three consecutive series. But during this time his bat remained silent. He could not score even a half-century. He could score only 21 runs in the next four innings. As a result, Sarfaraz, who was on Australia tour for the first time, was dropped from the team. Now his condition has become even worse. In fact, before the third Test, a picture of the Indian team's practice session from Brisbane has surfaced, in which he was seen catching the ball behind the net.
Feel for Sarfaraz Khan. Was on top of the world after his ton in Bengaluru a month or so ago. Here he is sitting behind the net at the Gabba, watching the rest bat & retrieving balls that sneak underneath before finally getting his chance once the main guys are done #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/cPYeMsCmFQ

According to the report, Sarfaraz currently watches all the players practicing from behind the net and collects the balls that go out and gives them back. When all the players' practice is completed, then they get a chance to bat in the nets. This means that after being out of the team, he is no longer able to practice properly in Australia. Let us tell you that Sarfaraz got a chance to bat against PM XI before the Pink Ball Test, in which he was out after scoring only 1 run.
The Indian team has reached Brisbane for the third Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The entire team is preparing wholeheartedly to repeat the historic victory achieved on the Gaba grounds during the last tour. On Thursday 12th December the players did net practice. During this time, many greats like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin were seen practicing.
