Sarfaraz Khan was the focus of many critics after lacking in the Ranchi Test Match, but it seems he decided to use his performance to quiet his critics.
When Sarfaraz Khan started his Test career, he scored brilliant fifties against England in both innings of his first match. People praised Sarfaraz on this brilliant performance and social media was filled with posts praising him. Meanwhile, Sarfaraz Khan failed in both innings in the second match of his life against England and the fourth match of the series.
Many critics together criticized Sarfaraz Khan. Of course, after that criticism, if there was any ordinary player, his confidence could have been broken, but Sarfaraz of lively nature did not let his confidence and morale fall. He did not come under any pressure at all and the result was that today he has scored the third half-century of Test career in his fifth innings against England.
Sarfaraz has shut the mouths of all critics by playing a brilliant half-century in India’s first innings on the second day of the fifth Test match against England in Dharamsala .
Today in Dharamsala, Sarfaraz has batted in fearless style. Sarfaraz Khan’s way of celebrating after completing his fifty was also fantastic. He gave a flying kiss to his wife sitting in the audience gallery, to which his wife responded by giving a similar reaction.
Mess Between Sarfaraz Khan and Mark Wood
Sarfaraz had scored nine runs off of the first thirty deliveries he faced in the beginning. But when he chose to go after the opposition bowlers, particularly Tom Hartley, who he hit two boundaries off of in the 75th over, there was a clear change in strategy. But meeting the powerful Mark Wood at the other end would be the real test.
On the first ball of the next over, Sarfaraz showed his unshakable resolve despite Wood’s relentless pace and accuracy by sending a blistering delivery from the express fast over the boundary for a booming four. Wood countered with a flurry of sharp shots, but Sarfaraz showed off his grace and talent by gliding a bumper past the slip cordon for another boundary with ease.
