Following Sarfaraz Khan’s exclusion from the Indian squad, Harbhajan Singh has expressed his support for the talented batsman. Singh, a former Indian cricketer, was surprised by the omission and encouraged Khan to learn from Karun Nair’s experience. Nair returned to the national team after showcasing excellent performances in domestic cricket.
Khan, despite being left out of the squad, continues to demonstrate impressive form. In a practice match against the England Lions, he scored 92 runs. Singh stated, “It’s very unfortunate… I was a bit shocked not seeing his name in the squad. I’m sure he will come back strong. He has got that will to make a comeback. All I can say is, don’t be disheartened, you will get your due, if not today, then tomorrow. Look at Karun Nair. He scored 300 runs against England and then never got too many opportunities. Now he is back in England with the team.”
The article highlights that Khan’s consistency in scoring and his ability to perform well in various conditions potentially make him a better option than Nair for the middle order.
