IND vs ENG: Indian team's star player KL Rahul is out of the third test match. When the Indian selectors had announced Team India, they had told that their playing would depend on their fitness. But he is not completely fit right now. According to Indian Express, he will remain under the observation of the medical team for one to two weeks. The team has suffered a big blow as soon as Rahul is out of the third test. But there are two players in the Indian team who may get a chance to debut in the third test.

Two players may get a chance to debut

Shreyas Iyer has not been selected by the selectors in the team for the remaining three Test matches against England. He played at number four in the second test match. Now even KL Rahul will not play in the third test match. In such a situation, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel may get a chance in Team India in the playing eleven of the third test. Both these players have performed well in domestic cricket for some time.

1. Dhruv Jurel

For a long time, KS Bharat has not been able to perform as per his name. Runs have stopped coming from his bat. In such a situation, he can be shown the way out of the third test match. Young Dhruv Jurel may get a chance in his place. His wicketkeeping skills are also amazing. Jurel has got a chance in the Indian Test squad for the first time. He is a strong contender to debut in the third test. He has so far scored 790 runs in 15 first class matches, which includes one century. Apart from this, he has also played 10 List A matches.

2. Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan has performed well in the last several seasons of Ranji Trophy. He is in great rhythm and has the ability to play big innings. When he is in rhythm, he can destroy any bowling attack. Sarfaraz is a strong contender for debut in Team India. He has so far scored 3912 runs in 45 first class matches, which includes 14 centuries. His best score in first class cricket is 301 runs. He has scored 629 runs in 37 List-A matches.
