'That's not normal': AB de Villiers picks his India debutant for 2nd Test vs England between Sarfaraz and Rajat Patidar – India TV
India TV NewsNo Virat Kohli, no Mohammed Shami and if that wasn't enough, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja got ruled out mounting the Indian team's problems after the hosts lost the first Test of the five-match series against England. Rajat Patidar, the Madhya Pradesh batter was picked in the squad first, as Virat Kohli's replacement following his twin centuries for India A. Sarfaraz Khan, the highest run-getter in India's domestic red-ball cricket for the last few years, earned his maiden Test call-up following Rahul's injury. While the pecking order suggests Patidar should get the nod but former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers is inclined towards getting Sarfaraz his first call-up because of his sheer consistency. I know it's a big jump up to international cricket against England, on the biggest stage, I hope he gets a chance because Rajat Patidar has also been playing well," de Villiers further added.
