“This week has been emotional for me,” said Sarfaraz.
Indian cricket is no stranger to domestic cricket and Sarfaraz Khan’s wizardry at the bat, as evidenced by the current Irani Cup. Khan resumed his insane run-making when playing for Mumbai once more against the Rest of India, recording an undefeated double tonne in Lucknow (222). After his innings, Khan talked about his blitzkrieg and the emotional turn of events his family had to go through recently.
Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz’s brother, was scheduled to compete in the current Irani Cup, but circumstances changed. Musheer suffered a fracture to his neck in a car accident on the way to Lucknow, which prevented him from competing in the crucial competition. But Sarfaraz brought up a beautiful double tonne and made up for the younger brother in the nicest way possible.
The 26-year-old claimed that if he crossed the 50-run threshold, he would smash a hundred for his injured brother as well, as he had promised his family and teammates. The Mumbai player broke multiple records en route to a magnificent double tonne, in addition to standing tall on his words.
Before fate had it another way, Sarfaraz’s brother Musheer Khan was scheduled to compete in the current Irani Cup. Musheer was involved in a car accident on his way to Lucknow, breaking his neck and ultimately preventing him from competing in the crucial competition. Sarfaraz, however, brought up a fantastic double tonne and made up for the younger brother in the greatest way possible.
The 26-year-old claimed he had made a pledge to his family, teammates, and himself that if he scored more than 50 runs, he would also smash a hundred for his ailing brother. In addition to keeping his pledge, the Mumbai batsman broke other records on his route to a magnificent double tonne.
I’ve had an emotional week. After the third day of the Irani Cup, Sarfaraz said, “I had promised my family and teammates that if I am set if I cross the fifty, I will score a double hundred – a hundred for me and a hundred for my brother (Musheer)”.
Father Naushad, Abbu, would have been happier if Muskeer had participated in the game. Regretfully, he experienced an incident. He said, “I therefore believed that I had to somehow score a double tonne in this match.”
