Seeing a three-ball duck in the first innings raised concerns all over, but it is Sarfaraz Khan who didn’t give up easily. With his impeccable maiden ton against New Zealand in his just second Test series for India he came on top. After dismissing the Black Caps for 402 runs, India was trailing more than 300 runs. However, this Mumbai batter changed everything for India.
Sarfaraz got the chance to play in the Bengaluru Test due to Shubman Gill’s stiff neck but couldn’t capitalize in the first innings, as mentioned. Not only he but all the Indian batters came and went in no time.
However, the second innings brought a special turnaround in the ongoing Test, and it is Sarfaraz Khan who is writing history, currently batting at 125 with 16 fours and 3 sixes. All the boundaries include ramp shots and impressive cover drives.
Now, it will be interesting to see how he continues, with India are at 344/3, saw two back-to-back 100-run partnerships, slowly and steadily taking the driver’s seat. Praise for Sarfaraz is everywhere just look at how fans are celebrating this young and dynamic batter!
