"Averaging 77": Dinesh Karthik Bats For Sarfaraz Khan-Like India Call-Up For Domestic Star
After years of toiling in the domestic circuit, batter Sarfaraz Khan was finally rewarded with an India Test cap ahead of the ongoing third game against England in Rajkot. Despite scoring runs aplenty, Sarfaraz was often ingored by the selectors. However, his moment arrived on Thursday, February 15 as former India captain Anil Kumble handed Sarfaraz his debut cap ahead of toss. In 45 First Class matches, Sarfaraz scored 3,912 runs at an average of 69.85. On debut, Sarafarz hit a quickfire 62 before a mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja led to his dismissal.
