Sarfraz Khan, one of the best performers of India’s domestic cricket, made his debut Test fifty. Not only did fifty, but also touched the record. Reached his fifty off just 42 balls and set the record for the second fastest Test half-century in Indian cricket history. He scored 62 runs off 66 balls with 9 fours and 1 six. Then he was run out by Ravindra Jadeja’s wrong call. After the match, Jadeja expressed his regret on social media about the matter.
However, Sarfraz did not take this matter into consideration. When asked about this, the anointed batsman gave a positive answer. Sarfraz said, ‘Actually it is part of the game. In cricket, there are always wrong calls, wrong communication. Sometimes run out. Sometimes you will get runs.’
He further said, ‘I spoke to Jadeja during the lunch break. I requested him then to talk to me when I come out to bat. I love talking while playing. It was my first match. Told him to keep talking to me when I get on the field. He spoke to me after the field. He supported the whole time.’
Rohit Sharma’s 131, Jadeja’s unbeaten 110 and Sarfaraz’s innings of 62 runs, India ended the first day with 326 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.
