The Boxing Day Test will be played between India and Australia in Melbourne from 26 December. Team India has started preparations for this fourth test of Border Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne. On Saturday, the players of the team practiced vigorously and this sequence continued on Sunday also. But Indian captain Rohit Sharma got injured during the practice session on Sunday. Rohit suffered a knee injury during batting practice. After this he kept applying ice for half an hour. Rohit's injury has increased the tension of Team India. If Rohit is out of the next test due to injury, then the team management can give a chance to Sarfaraz Khan in his place.
Team India's fast bowler Akash Deep has said on Rohit's injury that his injury is not serious. However, if Rohit misses the next Test, then 27-year-old batsman Sarfaraz Khan can be included in the Indian playing eleven in his place in the Boxing Day Test. Let us tell you that till now Sarfaraz has not got a chance to play even a single match in the current Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Sarfaraz Khan will have to perform big feats if he plays in place of a big player like Rohit Sharma. He can also score runs if he gets a chance in the Melbourne Test, because no one doubts his ability. He has proved himself. Till now this young player has scored 371 runs in 6 tests. Recently, he played an inning of 150 runs against New Zealand in the Bengaluru Test and made the legends his fan.
Apart from the hope that Sarfaraz will get a chance in case of Rohit's absence, the burden of Team India's veteran bowler Jasprit Bumrah will also increase. In this situation he will have to take command of the team. Let us tell you that he is the vice captain of India. He took command of the team in the Perth Test and Team India won the Perth Test by 295 runs.
