"No One Can Become Another Don Bradman But I Am Very Happy That I Am Near His Record" - Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan shared a cryptic post on Instagram after not being picked for the upcoming Test series against Australia at home. Sarfaraz didn’t make it into the Test team for the first two games of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2023 despite his consistent performances over the previous three seasons in the Ranji Trophy.

Sarfaraz Khan scored 125 runs off 155 balls with 16 fours and four sixes to reach his 13th first-class century against Delhi in the Ranji Trophy Group B match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. The 25-year-old is the ninth-highest run-getter in the ongoing Ranji Trophy edition, scoring 556 runs in six matches at an average of 111.20, including three centuries and one half-century.

Sarfaraz Khan Shared Cryptic Instagram Stories

Sarfaraz Khan took to Instagram stories to share the stats and highlighted his average of 80.47 in first-class cricket, second only to the legendary Don Bradman among batsmen who have played at least 50 innings. His entire first-class career record for Mumbai was showcased in his second story.

Jabtak Accha Performance Ho Raha Hai, Accha Performance Karta Rahu – Sarfaraz Khan

When Sarfaraz was asked about his outstanding stats in an interview with Sports Talk on Tuesday, he replied that no one can surpass Don Bradman’s record, but he is happy to be close to it.

“I am very happy. Sir (Don Bradman) ki barabri to kabhi koi kar hi nahi sakta but mai bahutt khush hu ki main unke aas pass tha record me. Mujhe pata chala, record ka kya hai… kabhi banta hai, kabhi toot-ta hai, kabhi average accha rahta hai, kabhi ek na ek din wo bhi niche aa jata hai. Mai bus yahi try kar raha hu ki jabtak accha performance ho raha hai, accha performance karta rahu,” said Sarfaraz.

“(No one can become another Don Bradman but I am very happy that I am near his record. I got to know about it. Records get created and are broken as well, sometimes the average is high, but someday it falls as well. What I have been trying to do is to continue my good performance as long as I can).”
