Sarfaraz Khan Hits Maiden Century During India Vs New Zealand 1st Test In Bengaluru
Sarfaraz Khan maiden Test Hundred came in 110 deliveries that included 13 fours and 3 sixes
Sarfaraz took seven innings to reach the triple-figure mark. He brought up his hundred in 110 deliveries that included 13 fours and 3 sixes.
Sarfaraz was roped in the playing XI after Shubman Gill suffered a stiff neck. The 26-year-old had made his Test debut earlier this year against England in Rajkot.
In the first innings, Sarfaraz was out for a duck but made a sensational comeback that included a century partnership with Virat Kohli for the third wicket before the latter was dismissed on the final ball of day three.
Sarfaraz's hundred comes on the back of a double-hundred in the Irani Cup final for Mumbai against Rest of India earlier this month. He has scored 15 centuries in First-Class cricket.
