4. Sarfaraz Khan: Royal Challengers Bangalore
He started this year’s IPL with a bang, playing a quickfire knock of 33 in just 10 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad which proved very crucial in the end, but he was later dropped from the team due to fitness issues.
‘Sarfaraz understands the areas in which he needs to work on as far as the fitness and fielding part is concerned,’ said RCB skipper Virat Kohli. ‘You can’t afford to have too many guys in the field who are not up to the mark with their fielding because the outfield here is lightning quick.’
‘Sachin (Baby) is, in that aspect, very committed. He is fit and he works on those things. As captain, I want to have a guy who gives 120 percent on the field and saves some crucial five to six runs,’ Virat added, discussing Sarfaraz’s omission.
