Prace nad pierwszą setką Sarfaraza Khana trwały 10 lat. Po debiucie w pierwszej klasie dziesięć lat temu niekonwencjonalny pałkarz musiał długo czekać, zanim na początku roku otrzymał swoje pierwsze powołanie do zawodów w Indiach.

“It feels so good when a captain & player of Rohit bhai’s stature tells you, ‘well play’. Virat bhai and Gautam sir told me well played as well. It was a proud moment for you, legends of the game, appreciating me,“ said in a BCCI video.

He told me to back myself, play freely, and gave me confidence. It was a dream day,“ Sarfaraz Khan said.
