Sarfaraz Khan hit a smashing century in the Buchi Babu Trophy, gave a befitting reply to the selectors
Sarfaraz Khan played his last Test match last year during New Zealand’s tour of India.
Sarfaraz Khan hit a brilliant century playing for Mumbai on the first day of the Buchi Babu Trophy against TNCA XI. After being left out of the Indian Test team for the Test series against England, he has made a great start to his domestic season. The most special thing about this century was that it came in just 92 balls, which shows how aggressively he batted.

Mumbai, who came out to bat first, was in trouble at a score of 98/3, and in such a situation Sarfaraz came out to bat. He kept the opposition bowlers under pressure from the beginning and batted freely till the end. He came to bat in the 33rd over of the innings and managed to score a century in the next 31 overs.
Sarfaraz Khan recently made headlines after losing 17 kg in just two months. His fitness changes were widely discussed on social media, but he was ignored for the England Test matches, which left the cricketer disappointed.

The last of Sarfraz’s six Tests came during New Zealand’s tour of India last year. After scoring a brilliant 150 in the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, Sarfraz managed just 21 runs in the next four innings as India suffered a 0-3 clean sweep at home.
In 11 Test innings so far, Sarfaraz Khan has scored 371 runs at an average of 37.10. However, with Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan not performing well with the bat in the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series in England, Sarfraz has a golden opportunity to regain his place in the team before the busy domestic season.
As far as the match is concerned, Mumbai captain Ayush Mhatre and Mushir Khan could not contribute much for the team. Both opened the innings and could score only 13 and 30 runs respectively. Number three batsman Suved Parker played a brilliant innings of 72 runs, while Sarfaraz’s aggressive century helped Mumbai to make a comeback.
