Boarder Gavasker’s BCCI announcement to provide his 17-man squad in India for his two Tests in the first of his series against Australia has drawn fans, pundits and veteran cricketers to the Sulfurs. Infuriated by his Khan’s absence. Sarfaraz, who shares a dressing room with Suryakumar at a domestic game in Mumbai on Sunday, ended his silence with continued criticism of the Indian hitter’s appointment of the selectors.
What excited the fans was Sarfaras’ abundant runs in the Ranji Trophy compared to Suryakumar’s lack of performances in Red Ball Cricket. The 25-year-old said that in the 2019/20 season he scored 928 runs for 154.66, in the 2021/22 season he scored 982 runs for 122.75 and this season he has over 500 runs, averaging around 92 was. Suryakumar, on the other hand, hadn’t played a red ball game in the past three years, until he hit an 80-90 ball last December in a Ranji Trophy match.

“Of course it is (because his choices are inspiring). Suryakumar is my best friend and when we are together as a team we spend a lot of time together. i learn a lot from him. He had to wait a long time, but the way he plays adds to his experience, so things are easy,” he said.
In an interview with The Times of India last week, Sarfaraz opened up about the team’s initial reaction after the announcement.
“I was so sad when the team was announced and my name wasn’t there. I thought I would be selected and I wasn’t, so anyone in my place in this world I would have been sad Yesterday I was sad all day while traveling from Guwahati to Delhi. I thought about how this happened. I feel very lonely. I cried too,” he said.
