Sarfaraz Khan had a splendid Ranji Trophy season for other participants Mumbai this time. He was named the ‘Man of the Tournament’ for his splendid presentation, which saw him score 982 runs for Mumbai.

Be that as it may, the way to the top was difficult for Sarfaraz. He needed to leave Mumbai group a couple of years back. He played for Uttar Pradesh from 2015 to 2018. Nonetheless, Sarfaraz got back in the game to the Mumbai group in 2020. From that point forward, there has been no thinking back for the 24-year-old.

I got profound in Ranji Trophy when I made a long period. Whenever I was passing on Mumbai to play Ranji Trophy for Uttar Pradesh, as I was gathering my sacks where I was keeping my Mumbai shirts, which I didn’t require by then of time, I was in a real sense crying. My fantasy was to make a century wearing Mumbai shirt. At the point when I was keeping the Mumbai shirt taken care of, I was feeling that perhaps I will always be unable to for the group from now on. It was my fantasy to play for Mumbai, score a ton and afterward my photograph would show up in papers,” Sarfaraz said in a meeting to Sportskeeda Cricket.

Nonetheless, it was not before three years that Sarfaraz would get back to the Mumbai crease once more.

Then once when I needed to get back to Uttar Pradesh from Mumbai, I let my father know that I will either play for Mumbai or quit cricket. Then, at that point, I required the one-year cooling time frame, played club games. That was a troublesome snapshot of my life. Then, at that point, I got back in the saddle in the Mumbai group. Then, at that point, when I scored a ton on return, I proceeded to change over it into a triple 100 years (against Uttar Pradesh in 2020). Then it was my fantasy to score a ton for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy last. In this way, however I have scored a couple of tons in Ranji Trophy, the one in the last was the most exceptional,” he added.

Sarfaraz’s structure has now made him a number one to be picked for the Indian crew as well.
