Sarfaraz Khan was snubbed for a spot in India squad for first 2 Tests vs Australia© Twitter
When Sarfaraz Khan was not named within the Indian squad for the primary two Tests towards Australia, there was an enormous furore on social media. Even cricket greats like Sunil Gavaskar slammed the Chetan Sharma-led All India Selection Committee for ignoring batter Sarfaraz, who’s going by way of a purple patch within the home circuit. “He is not staying off the field when he is scoring hundreds, he is back on the field again. All that tells you that the man is fit for cricket. If you are looking for only slim and trim guys, then you might as well go to a fashion show and pick some models and then give them a bat and ball in their hand and then include them. You have cricketers in all shapes and sizes. Don’t go by the size, but go by the runs and the wickets,” Gavaskar had instructed India Today.
Indian followers on social media reacted fairly angrily to the number of Suryakumar Yadav, who has been doing nicely for India within the limited-overs codecs, within the Tests towards Australia over Sarfaraz, who has been getting tons of runs in first-class cricket.
However, Sarfaraz sees Suryakumar as an inspirational determine. The two have performed collectively for a very long time for his or her state workforce Mumbai.
“Surya is a very good friend of mine. Whenever we are in the same team, we spend a lot of time together. I learn a lot from him. Yes, he had to wait, but now he is using his experience very well,” Sarfaraz Khan mentioned in an interview with senior journalist Vimal Kumar.
Speaking on his preparation and his outlook in direction of the sport, Sarfaraz mentioned: “I only focus on hard work. I believe in doing as much hard work as possible. Whatever I have been following, I look to continue that. When I went out to bat, I wanted to repeat what I have been doing the last few years. I am a person who is attached to the ground. I practice a lot, and that’s why my form is continuing.”
