IPL 2022 GT vs DC Predicted Playing XI: Will Sarafarz Khan play for Delhi today?

Sarfaraz kickstarted 2021-22 with 275 against Saurashtra and ended the group stage with 165 against Odisha. In nine first-class games for Mumbai since returning from Uttar Pradesh, he’s scored a staggering 1,479 runs at an average of 147.90 with five centuries in 13 innings; the lowest ton has been 165, the highest 301 not out.

Last November, he made his maiden trip for India ‘A’ to South Africa, where he got two innings and made 71 not out against an all-international pace attack comprising Marco Jansen, Beuran Hendricks, Glenton Stuurman and Lutho Sipamla.

Injury-plagued Delhi Capitals will gain strength further in both bowling and batting, with the likely inclusion of Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman and Sarfaraz Khan, who have completed their three-day quarantine.
