These 2 players who made a curse for each other proved to be cursed, the Test career ended in full youth
Test Cricket: Many players have come together in Indian cricket and are also shining together, but there are some who have a debut together and the career stops due to each other. The same thing happened with two promising players, who stepped together in Test Cricket, but now the journey of both has stopped.
The two became each other’s options, and then when one got a chance, the other’s career stopped. Nobody won in this luck game, just both were left behind.
Pant’s return snatched a chance
The two cricketers we are talking about are Dhruv Jurlel and Sarfaraz Khan. The two stepped together in Team India in Test Cricket. When Jurael played 4 Tests for Team India, he scored 202 runs at an average of 40.40.
He fulfilled the responsibility received in Test Cricket against Australia, but Rishabh Pant’s return limited his opportunities. Pant’s experience and form in the role of wicketkeeper became a big obstacle in Jurael’s path.
Sarfaraz Khan: Injury and Competition stopped the path
Sarfaraz Khan has scored 371 runs in 6 matches in Test Cricket at an average of 37.10, including 1 century and 3 half -centuries. However, an injury put him out of time and after that someone else is getting the priority of the selectors in the team.
Dhruv Jurlel and Sarfaraz Khan made hopes together in Test Cricket, but now both are out of the team. Due to limited opportunities, strong competition and not being able to perform at the right time, both players are currently away from the Test team’s race.
Both players had high expectations about their debut in Test Cricket. The tremendous record in young energy, form and domestic cricket created an atmosphere in their favor. But the challenge of continuity at the international level made their path difficult.
Due to the senior players and new emerging talent already present in the Test team, both of them weakened the claim in Test Cricket. On the scale of selection, fitness, rhythm and team balance were preferred, causing both players out of the Indian Test team.
