Sarfaraz Khan’s Memorable Week: Test Century and Baby Boy
Indian cricket star Sarfaraz Khan’s remarkable week has reached new heights with the birth of his baby boy, just two days after he scored his maiden Test century against New Zealand. This joyous occasion adds to the already unforgettable experience for the talented batter, who has been captivating fans with his exceptional performances on the field.
During the rain-interrupted fourth day of the match in Bengaluru, Sarfaraz showcased his extraordinary batting prowess, amassing an impressive 150 runs. Playing in only his fourth Test match since his debut earlier this year, the young batter described his century as a “dream come true.”
“Since I started playing cricket, it was my dream to play for India and score a 100 for India. I am happy,” the 26-year-old had told reporters on Saturday.
Sarfaraz’s journey to the Test team was not without its challenges. Initially, he was not the team’s first choice, but he secured a spot in the playing eleven for the series opener after Shubman Gill was ruled out due to a stiff neck.
Despite the unexpected opportunity, Sarfaraz seized the moment and delivered a performance that has left a lasting impression. His innings marked his 16th first-class century, with an impressive record of 10 out of his previous 15 centuries being scores of 150 or more, including four double hundreds.
The birth of his baby boy adds another layer of joy to Sarfaraz’s already memorable week. This special moment is a testament to the cricketer’s resilience and determination, both on and off the field. As he continues to shine on the international stage, Sarfaraz Khan’s star is undoubtedly on the rise.
