Sarfaraz Khan Smashes Hundred For Mumbai In Irani Cup - Watch His Iconic Celebration

Sarfaraz Khan in action.

Sarfaraz Khan made a brilliant comeback to the Mumbai team while taking part in the Irani Cup as he smashed his 15th first-class century on Wednesday, October 2, against the rest of India. The Mumbai-based batter reached the three-figure mark in 150 balls, putting his team in a commanding position on Day 2 of the match at the Ekana stadium in Lucknow.

Sarfaraz was a part of the Indian team that won the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. However, he was released from the Indian team so that he can take part in the Irani Cup. On Day 1 of the play, Sarfaraz stepped out to bat while Mumbai were 4 for 139, joining hands with Ajinkya Rahane. The duo went on to add 98 runs by the end of Day 1 and helped Mumbai reach 237 for 4. The pair of Rahane and Khan added 43 more runs on Day 2 before the Mumbai stalwart departed by Yash Dayal for 97 runs.

In the 92nd over of the game, Sarfaraz smashed his 100 and eventually, he went to have lunch unbeaten on 103 off 155 balls with the help of 14 boundaries. Talking about Sarfaraz’s India stunt, he did not get a chance to play in any of the games against Bangladesh as KL Rahul was preferred over him.
