Finally earning his first Test cap against England in the third Twenty20 International, Sarfaraz Khan has been playing well for Mumbai in the Indian domestic circuit.
Sarfaraz sprinted towards the boundary where his father was waiting, tears in his eyes, as soon as he received the Test cap from Anil Kumble. To let his father realise that it was no longer a dream, Sarfaraz allowed him to touch the cap. It’s now a fact. With a population of 1.5 billion, he is one of the 11 Test players in the nation.

On his Instagram story, he also posted a photo of himself wearing his new Test jersey, which has the number 97 and this was to honour his father. The word Naushad, which is his father’s name, is formed by the numbers 9 and 7, which combined spell the Hindi words “Nau” and “Sat,” respectively, on the jersey number 97, a report in Latestly suggests.
Meanwhile, his teary video of getting emotional following his son’s delayed debut is making rounds on the internet. Although Naushad couldn’t make it, his son has now finally made him proud. Here is all about Sarfaraz’s father, who coached him to reach this level.
