BCCI gave Sarfaraz Khan a chance in the team for the series between India and Bangladesh. But he did not get a chance to be included in the playing eleven in even a single match of the two-match series. After this, Sarfaraz Khan reached Lucknow directly from Kanpur and started playing for his team Mumbai in the Ir. Cup. He scored an unbeaten half-century on the first day of the match and also scored a century early the next day. It seems that the selectors will give him another chance when the team for the Test series between India and New Zealand is announced.

Sarfaraz Khan scored a century in Ir. Trophy

Today in the Ir. Cup match, Sarfaraz Khan scored a century in just 150 balls against Rest of India. Sarfaraz Khan did not hit even a single six during this period, but did hit 14 fours and brought his team out of trouble and into a strong position. Although Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane missed his century, Rahane returned to the pavilion after scoring 97 runs.

Captain has more confidence in KL Rahul

Meanwhile, Sarfaraz’s selection is almost certain in the three-match series between India and New Zealand in October. But even there he will not get a place in the playing eleven. Actually, captain Rohit Sharma has more confidence in KL Rahul. However, Rahul has failed to make a big impact with his bat, but still KL Rahul has been playing consistently in the playing eleven. It remains to be seen what decision the selectors take while selecting Team India.

Sarfaraz Khan has played three test matches so far

As far as Sarfaraz Khan’s Test statistics are concerned, he may have got very few opportunities, but whenever he has played, he has performed brilliantly. Sarfaraz has played only three test matches for India so far. Meanwhile he has 200 runs in his name. Its average is 50. He has not scored any century in international matches yet, but he has three fifties to his name. Sarfaraz has come to Team India only after some brilliant first-class cricket, he is still making waves there.
