Sarfaraz Khan hits Ranji double hundred to boost India hopes
Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan sent a strong message to India’s selectors on Tuesday by scoring a commanding double century in the Ranji Trophy, leading Mumbai’s charge in their ongoing domestic clash. The 27-year-old dominated the opposition attack with a fluent knock that underlined his red-hot form and consistency in first-class cricket.
Sarfaraz brought up his double hundred with authority, mixing patience with aggression as Mumbai tightened their grip on the match. “I just wanted to bat long and help the team,” Sarfaraz said after his innings. A Mumbai team official added: “He’s showing maturity and hunger every time he bats.”
The knock comes amid ongoing debates around national selection, with Sarfaraz once again backing his case through runs. His latest effort reinforces his status as one of the most prolific batters in India’s domestic circuit this season.
