No Doubt Sarfaraz Had Very Good Debut, But Rahul Consistent In Scoring Runs, Says Parthiv
Both Akash Deep: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel believes KL Rahul’s consistent run-scoring secured his selection over Sarfaraz Khan in the playing eleven for the first Test against Bangladesh, starting on September 19 in Chennai.
“You have to look at KL Rahul's performance in the last few years. He has been fantastic. He scored 100 in South Africa at Centurion. When he played that only Test match against England in Hyderabad, he scored runs. He has been around scoring runs consistently, had a very good World Cup as well.
“But having said that, Sarfaraz had a very good debut series, no doubt about it. As far as I am concerned, India would definitely start with KL Rahul. I don't see a question there, but it's good to see that India has that kind of competition amongst players for every position,” said Parthiv to IANS in a select virtual interaction.
