Day 1 Rajkot – IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Sarfaraz Khan scored a fifty off 48 balls in the 3rd Test against England on Day 1 in Rajkot. He hit seven fours and one six to reach the fifty. He was not afraid to push boundaries against a tough team like England. He overcame the pace of right-arm fast bowler Mark Wood and chose his power, accuracy and timing to confuse the English players.

The playing style of Sarfaraz was not just fast but also precise and cautious. He showed no hurries in settling and getting his feet on the ground despite Mark Wood’s provoking. He did well against the spinners and smashed them from left and right. The powerful innings played by the youngster will prove to be the beginning of a new cricket era in India.

A journey that is all heart 🫶🥹
