During the fourth day of the current Test match against New Zealand, Sarfaraz Khan scored his first century. This is what the former Indian batter had to say about him.
Sarfaraz Khan picked the ideal moment to mention his first Test century. In the ongoing first Test between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru, with India’s back against the wall, the right-handed batter chose to take Rohit Sharma’s place and produced an excellent mix of caution and aggression. In the 57th over, Sarfaraz Khan hit his first century in a Test match off the bowling of Tim Southee. In the dressing room, the 26-year-old celebrated exuberantly, nearly knocking Rohit Sharma off his chair.
