He also has a triple century to his name. Sarfaraz could be a dependable middle-order batsman for India in the new WTC cycle and a good replacement for either Cheteshwar Pujara or Ajinkya Rahane.While Sarfaraz continues to be ignored by Indian selectors, in a recent interview after the WTC final, Dinesh Karthik had picked him as one of the answers to India’s test problem.
3. Abhimanyu Easwaran

Easwaran was a part of India’s home squad against england in 2021 as well in the form of a standby player.
