From hitting double centuries to sending a message to selectors, Sarfaraz Khan is taking the Irani Cup by storm!

Sarfaraz Khan is proving to be more than just a rising star in Indian cricket. During the recent Irani Cup match, the Mumbai batter showcased his remarkable talent by scoring a magnificent double century against the Rest of India. This historic achievement not only makes him the first Mumbai player to achieve this feat but also places him as the fourth-youngest batsman to score a double century in the Irani Cup, highlighting his potential to become a future legend in the sport. Khan's audacious performance was instrumental in securing a commanding total for Mumbai, putting them in a strong position in the match.

What makes Khan's achievement even more impressive is the fact that this century marks his 15th in First-Class cricket, with a remarkable strike rate. He managed to bring up his century in just 149 balls, sending a clear message to team selectors about his capabilities and demand for being included in the national side. His powerful batting and determination have not only delighted Mumbai fans but also left cricket enthusiasts across the country buzzing with excitement.

Apart from his batting prowess, Sarfaraz Khan's journey has been remarkable in other senses too. After missing selection for the national team, he responded not with disappointment but with determination. His consistent performances and remarkable ability to churn out runs have made him a contender for the Indian Test squad. His recent innings, which saw him narrowly miss out on a Test hundred by just three runs, reflect his tenacity and hunger for success on the big stage.

As day two of the Irani Cup wrapped up, Mumbai found themselves in a commanding position at 536/9, mainly due to Khan's phenomenal score of 221*. As he continues to rewrite the record books, cricket fans eagerly await the day he dons the national jersey and showcases the same flair and fireworks on the international stage.

Interestingly, Sarfaraz Khan is not just another name in cricket; he is a prodigy whose father, Naushad Khan, was a first-class cricketer and coach. Sarfaraz grew up with cricket in his blood, and his hard work and dedication are evident in his performances. Another notable achievement is how Khan’s recent feats have sparked discussions about the need for a more robust selection process, highlighting the abundance of talent in domestic cricket waiting to be recognized.
