Jaiswal prepared for every format, Sarfaraz now needs to score in foreign countries: Ganguly. Sarfaraz Khan made his debut in the third Test at Rajkot against England, and former India captain Sourav Ganguly was the most recent to laud the young batsman.
Sarfaraz is off to a good start. He now needs to perform well abroad. Ganguly told Mid Day, “He is a good example for aspiring cricket players, who must remember that if they score consistently, they will get their chances.”
Even though Sarfaraz, 26, has been lighting up the domestic circuit with steady runs in the red-ball format since 2019, he had to wait a long time to don the national jersey. As the Mumbai hitter made his Test debut, he became just the fourth Indian to score fifty in each of the two innings against the English bowlers.
In his first international game, Sarfaraz’s presence was praised eve
n by Indian captain Rohit Sharma. “I haven’t spent much time with Sarfaraz bat.” However, players from Bombay (Mumbai) have told me that he has scored runs in trying circumstances. and huge runs,” he’d declared following the game.
It provides insight into his character. Extremely prolific and has a strong hunger for runs. We didn’t talk about plans because, given his freedom, the job would get done. I had also heard that from players in Bombay. On Test morning, he did appear anxious, but he injected enthusiasm into the match once it got underway. It felt good to watch him win,” Rohit continued.
Ganguly also acknowledged Yashasvi Jaiswal’s efforts, as he scored his second double century in as many games.
“Jaiswal is not just a skilled player; he can play in every format of the game,” stated Ganguly.
In the game, India achieved their greatest Test victory (by runs) as England folded for 122 after Jaiswal’s second-inning double hundred (214 not out) helped set a 557-run target. Jadeja, who had earlier in the game scored a crucial hundred, was ecstatic to have five for 21 with the ball on his home ground.
