Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz Khan has been scoring runs in Ranji Trophy and is set to make his India debut soon
Sarfaraz Khan is one of the hottest uncapped India The cricketer is currently in good form thanks to his excellent form in the domestic circuit. Former cricketers and fans have been pointing to his record in Ranji Trophy in the last few seasons and questioning the Indian team management as to why the youngster has not received an international call-up yet.

Though he was back to doing what he knows best: scoring hundreds. As he did two days later during the Ranji match between Mumbai and Delhi in the national capital.
Sarfaraz continues to be coached by his father Naushad, himself a club cricketer.
Often, Sarfaraz used to face Arjun Tendulkar, a fellow Mumbaikar and budding cricketer and son of the great Sachin Tendulkar, during his junior days.

“At the end of the day, if you are unfit, you are not going to score hundreds. That’s why cricket fitness is most important. I have no problem with you wanting to do the yo-yo test or whatever, but the yo-yo test can’t be the only criteria. You have to make sure that the person is fit for cricket as well. And if that person, whoever it is, is fit for cricket, I don’t think it really matters,” Gavaskar said. sports today,
