Sarfaraz Khan, the young and talented Mumbai batter, has once again proven his worth by scoring a century in the ongoing Ranji Trophy match against Delhi.
Despite his recent success and consistent performances, he was not selected for the first two Tests against Australia, leading many to question the decision of the selectors.
Mumbai’s coach, Amol Muzumdar, was visibly impressed by Khan’s performance as he reached his hundred. The team was struggling at 110 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, but Khan’s impressive knock helped take them to a competitive total of 293 runs on the challenging Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch.
Khan’s 125 runs came off 142 balls, including 16 fours and 4 sixes, and he gave a fitting reply to the Indian Selection Committee. This is his third century of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season, further solidifying his case for national selection. His consistent performances are giving a fitting reply to the selectors for ignoring him.
Fans on social media have praised Sarfaraz Khan for his century, while some have also expressed their frustration with the selection committee for not including him in the squad for the first two tests against Australia.
Here are some tweets:
