🏏 India vs England, 3rd Test-- SCA Stadium, Rajkot 🏏 - Page 22

Pressan: "If Sarfaraz looks good and makes a big score are the selectors geniuses for making sure he was test match ready or are they fools for not bringing him in sooner?"

Arjun_M: "Sarfaraz has been brought in at just the right time. He has nearly 50 FC matches behind him, so he's played a fairly long time. It's smarter than rushing in youngsters with just about one FC season worth of experience."

Niroop: "Stokes' captaincy has been very entertaining to watch. He is teasing the batters all the time and they keep falling into his plans even if the result is not always what he wants. It's as if the Indian batters are offended by his tease."

Vishal Pawar: "Sarfaraz couldn't have asked for a more comfortable set-up than this. 200 plus on board for 4 wickets. Tired English bowlers on a flat pitch, including inexperienced spinners."

Has another non-review cost England? The broadcasters have shown a replay which suggests that the ball struck the pad first, and ball-tracking shows three reds, projecting the ball would have crashed into middle stump..!

IND 280/4 (74.3)

CRR: 3.76

Day 1: 3rd Session

Jadeja is 6 short of his century. Crowd and we are all waiting to clap for his 100!

Vinod Rajpal: "Sarfaraz is playing a perfect Bazball innings!"

Ananya: "Jeez...... Khan is a right handed Pant.....!"

No he's right handed sarfaraz khan
