IND vs ENG: The third Test match between India and England is to be played in Rajkot from 15 February.
The third Test match between India and England is to be played in Rajkot from 15 February. Before this, bad news has come for the Indian team. KL Rahul has been ruled out of the third Test match and Devdutt Padikkal has been included as a replacement.
Now the big question is which player will Rohit Sharma give a chance in place of KL Rahul. It is believed that Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are going to make their Test debut from the third test. In this sequence, in this article we are discussing three such players who can replace KL Rahul in the playing eleven.
IND vs ENG: Dhruv Jurel
Dhruv Jurel‘s performance in domestic cricket has been quite good so far and he has scored important runs with the bat for his team. He can also do wicketkeeping, which is a plus point. He also has the ability to score the required runs by coming down the order. Since KS Bharat’s performance in Test cricket has been quite disappointing. In such a situation, he can be the perfect alternative to KL Rahul.

IND vs ENG: Sarfaraz Khan
Sarfaraz Khan has been working hard for the last few years. He has scored runs consistently in domestic cricket and shown potential. After Virat Kohli withdrew from the first two Test matches, the selectors chose Rajat Patidar, yet Sarfaraz did not lose courage. A day after being ignored, he played a brilliant inning of 161 runs against England Lions.
After this finally the selectors included Sarfaraz in the squad. Now he is expected to play in the third Test and he can be a good wicket for KL Rahul.
IND vs ENG: Devdutt Padikkal
Devdutt Padikkal has been included as a replacement for KL Rahul. Padikkal looked in great form in Ranji Trophy. He also impressed with his batting for England Lions and India A. Padikkal bats in the middle order and considering his recent form, he can replace KL Rahul.
