WV Raman Backs Sarfaraz To Start Over Jurel For India’s Galle Test Against Sri Lanka
Former India batter WV Raman said he would prefer Sarfaraz Khan over Dhruv Jurel in the side’s playing eleven for the first Test against Sri Lanka, starting in Galle on Saturday, citing the visitors' need for a frontline batter in the middle order who can attack the hosts' spin bowling line-up.
India must fill two vacant batting slots from a pool of three players in Devdutt Padikkal, Jurel and Sarfaraz as they open their series against Sri Lanka. With Padikkal expected to seal the number three spot in B Sai Sudharsan’s absence, the remaining contest is between Jurel and Sarfaraz.
