The star Indian uncapped batter Sarfaraz Khan has attracted the attention of cricket fans and experts once again. He is enjoying a purple patch in the first-class cricket with his. The 24-year-old is looking tremendous as he has scored two centuries and half-centuries to his name in the last nine innings of five first-class matches.
Speaking of his top-notch batting form, then he has scored eight innings except for an only duck in his account. The talented right-hander is currently in action for the Rest of India against Saurashtra in Irani Trophy.
Sarfaraz stunned everyone with another amazing century at a crucial moment when the Rest of India had a terrible start after losing three wickets only on the score of 18 runs.
Indian cricket fans were awestruck after seeing Sarfaraz Khan in such a red-hot form. They took to Twitter to urge the India cricket Board and the Indian selectors to give a chance for Sarfaraz in the national squad before it goes too late.

Speaking of the match of the Irani Trophy between Saurashtra and the Rest of India, then ROI’s skipper Hanuma Vihari won the toss and asked Saurashtra to bat first. On the backs of sensational bowling performances, ROI bundled up the Saurashtra only on the score of 98 runs in the first innings. Mukesh Kumar scalped four wickets by conceding just 23 runs in his 10 overs with four maidens to his name.
Other than Mukesh, Young lads Kuldeep Sen and Umran Malik also scalped three wickets each for the Rest of India.
While batting in the second innings, Hanuma Vihari & co. also had a horrifying start as their three batters went back to the pavilion only on a total score of 18. But since then, Sarfaraz Khan took the charge alongside skipper Hanuma Vihari. They both have stitched an unbeaten partnership of 187 runs for the fourth wicket at the time of stumps on day 1 of the match.
Sarfaraz has played a magnificent knock of 125 runs with 19 boundaries and two sixes. Whereas, on the other hand, skipper Vihari has also scored crucial 62 runs with nine boundaries and a six.
