Irani Cup: Sarfaraz Khan Hits Century, Fans Ask BCCI To Select Him In Test Team

Irani Cup Day 1: Sarfaraz Khan maintained his momentum in the Irani Cup, scoring another century in the first innings while playing for the Rest of India (ROI) against Saurashtra. Sarfaraz came out to bat at number five after his team had been reduced to 18/3 in response to Saurashtra's 98.

The right-hander batted with skipper Hanuma Vihari in the middle, and the two batsmen maintained a partnership of more than 150 runs for the fourth wicket. While Vihari was more careful, Sarfaraz scored runs quickly, smashing bowlers all over the field and putting opponents on the back foot.
