Finally Sarfaraz Khan’s dream of India Cricket Team National call up is fulfilled. The monster in domestic cricket has been knocking the doors of the selectors for the past year. Finally his wish is granted. With KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja ruled out of IND vs ENG 2nd Test, Sarfaraz Khan has finally got his chance in the National Team.
After repeated snubs, Sarfaraz Khan didn’t lose hope. Instead he continued to flourish and amass tons for India A and in the Ranji Trophy. With repeated impressive performances against England Lions, it was only a matter of time before he finally got his chance.
And ultimately his chance has arrived. India has been plagued with injuries. KL Rahul and Jadeja are set to miss the Vizag Test. Previously, when Virat Kohli pulled out of the first 2 Tests, Sarfaraz faced a snub as Rajat Patidar got his chance. The 26-year-old roared to slam a ton for India A.
At the BCCI Awards Ceremony, Sarfaraz Khan bagged the Madhavrao Scindia Award for being the highest run getter in Ranji trophy for 2021-22 season for Mumbai. The man who has been trying to impress Rahul Dravid for so long could not be there. Instead, it was his father, who has handled every question thrown at him, was the one to receive the award from the same man.
