Sarfaraz Khan Struggles as Devon Conway Shines in Test Match
Sarfaraz Khan Hits a Duck in Test Cricket
Sarfaraz Khan's debut Test appearance took a turn for the worse when he registered his first duck. With Devon Conway's diving catch at extra cover, Sarfaraz misjudged a length delivery from Matt Henry, succumbing after facing just three balls. His dismissal left India reeling at 103 runs.
Match Context and Performance
The match against New Zealand at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on October 17 saw Indian captain Rohit Sharma opt to bat first. With conditions favoring bowlers, Sarfaraz's poor shot selection was a missed opportunity as he filled in for Shubman Gill, who was sidelined due to neck stiffness.
- Rohit Sharma's early wicket added pressure.
- India found the going tough with exceptional bowling by Tim Southee and Matt Henry.
- Sarfaraz previously showcased brilliance with a double century in the Irani Cup.
- His return to the Test squad was a highlight prior to this setback.
Looking Ahead
With his future in the squad uncertain, Sarfaraz Khan's return to form will be crucial as India continues to battle in the Test.
