Sarfaraz Khan of Mumbai was not named to India’s 17-man roster for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, which is expected to commence in February.

As a reminder to the Chetan Sharma-led India selection committee, the heartbroken Mumbai batter uploaded an Instagram story of his incredible first-class record.

The omission of Sarfaraz Khan from Team India’s team for the opening two Tests of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series against Australia at home has generated the most discussion. Despite his accomplishments on the domestic circuit over the previous three seasons, the teenager has been unable to make a breakthrough, infuriating and perplexing fans and experts alike.

Sarfaraz is also left wondering what else he can do. After the team announcement, the 25-year-old posted a cryptic message on Instagram that gave the selectors a brutal “Don Bradman” reminder because he was upset by the repeated rejection.

Sarfaraz Khan has repeatedly failed to be selected for the Indian team:

In an Instagram post, Sarfaraz claimed that among batsmen who have played at least 50 innings, his first-class average is second only to the illustrious Don Bradman. The batter has recently been in excellent form and is in the top spot in the Ranji Trophy ratings. However, after Ishan Kishan’s incredible double century against Bangladesh in the ODI format, India chose to grant him his first call-up for a Test match.

Sarfaraz has been in excellent form throughout the current Ranji Trophy season, scoring 2 hundred and a half centuries in 5 games. Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav, teammates of Sarfaraz, have been called up for the T20I and Test squads, respectively. However, Suryakumar Yadav has also received calls for the ODI and T20I series.
