Jurel or Sarfaraz? India's No. 6 Battle Before SL Test

Jurel or Sarfaraz? India's No. 6 Battle Before SL Test

India's cricket team is about to play a Test match against Sri Lanka.

Before the big game, the team must choose who bats at the number six position.

Two players, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan, are the main candidates.

A famous former cricketer named Mohammad Kaif talked about the choice.

He said Sarfaraz might have to wait if the team picks a certain plan.

But if Kaif had to pick the best eleven players, he would choose Sarfaraz.

Sarfaraz is very good at playing spin bowling, which is when the ball turns sideways.

Kaif said Sarfaraz also has many different shots to use.

He explained that batting gets harder on the fourth and fifth days of a Test match.

That is when a player like Sarfaraz can be especially helpful.
