Mumbai Cricket Team was playing against Delhi in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23. Delhi had asked Mumbai to bat first but they had a shaky start as Mumbai was reduced to 66-4. The bowlers were getting ample help from the surface, Pranshu Vijayaran was the pick of the bowlers and he took 4 scalps.

Ajinkya Rahane, the skipper was dismissed cheaply as the right-handed batter managed to score 2 runs in 25 balls. Sarfaraz Khan came into bat at the no.5 position and displayed an attacking brand of cricket and at the same time, he was keen on rotating the strike.

Sarfaraz Khan Smashes A Century

Sarfaraz Khan struck yet another century and his 13th one in the first class cricket. The batter took a single when he was batting on 99 on the bowling off Yogesh and then was quite pumped up. The batter was quite frustrated where he has been blatantly ignored by the selection panel despite amassing tons of runs.

Questionable Selection

The selection panel has named Suryakumar Yadav in the squad against Australia in the place of Sarfaraz Khan. There’s no doubt that Suryakumar Yadav has got a surprise element but Sarfaraz Khan has been scoring runs on a consistent basis. The Australia Tests is quite vital for India as they have to win the Test Series by 3-0 or 3-1 to stake a claim in the World Test Championship (WTC 2021-23) final.

There are chances that Sarfaraz may be included in the 3rd & 4th Test matches against Australia. The right-handed batter is at the top of his game at the moment. According to sources, it was assumed that the batter would get a chance against Bangladesh Tests but he was not considered. The Men in Blue doesn’t have a reliant middle order where Sarfaraz could have provided some stability.
