Aakash Chopra: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has thrown his weight behind Sarfaraz Khan to replace the injured KL Rahul in the playing XI of the second Test against England in Vizag, starting on February 2.

With injuries sidelining both Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday named Sarfaraz, spinner Sourabh Kumar, and all-rounder Washington Sundar as their replacements for the second Test.

Chopra, expressing his views on his YouTube channel, highlighted Sarfaraz's unorthodox style of play and his proficiency against spin, making a strong case for the Mumbai-based batter to make his debut for the national team in Vizag.
