Whatever it takes!!!
We'll take it even if he's only a spin bully tbh. The team very badly needs a few of those.
Yeah, I have reservations on the fact that he is a bit of a specialist 5/6 batter, may struggle against swing with his instincitive hand-eye based play and also seemed to be a bit slow to react against Wood's pace.

All that said, kid has done amazingly well and now that he had some A runs as well (only in the last 12 months), he has absolutely earned the right to fail.

Yes, people need to stop assuming things about Sarfaraz Khan..
He can't play this, he can't play that ..Well he scored huge runs in FC , he scored runs in A side now he scored runs on Test debut ..

What more must he do ?

More so , Kohli only recently came out of a slump, he was given time ..Pujara was given time , Rahane was given time ..

Even guys who have done nowhere near , Gill and Rahul their records overall are nothing great.. Sarfaraz should get a fair chance.

Terrific fightback from India given where they were after an hour. Will still want north of 400 so much tests on Jadeja. Don’t know anything about the new keeper, is he renowned as much of a batsman?

scored a double vs a 3rd tier ranji side, hasn't done much outside of that. He's a 30-35 average batsmen best case right now, but has talent. Could be really handy in a few years.

We have all given him grief for how bad he can be with his running between the wickets, but its also important to acknowledge what Sarfraz said about Jaddu and how he helped through his initial few minutes at the crease.

How much having Pant would've made the difference at this stage!

I love the humility of the parents. The understanding of the bigger picture.

Graeme Swann and Dinesh Karthik commentating should be a crime against humanity.
Bigger crime is the way jadeja played. Made the same mistake he made on the 3rd morning of 1st test. Just went into the shell. No intent of scoring and eventually getting out with scoreboard unmoved.
