How did they meet?



Sarfaraz met Romana during a cricket match in Delhi when the Kashmir-born was in the stadium to watch an IPL clash. Both started talking and built up a friendship pretty quickly which later turned into love.

After becoming friends with Romana for a few months, Khan's cousin learned that he was in love with Jahur and wanted to marry him. Jahur had introduced Khan to Romana.


Sarfaraz himself posted a picture with his bride on his official Instagram account, with a caption, “Alhamdulillah married”. The post drew comments from his former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate Chris Gayle apart from his Mumbai Ranji Trophy teammate Suryakumar Yadav.


“Kya baat hai bahut bahut badhai,” Suryakumar Yadav replied on the post. Other Team India cricketers like Axar Patel, Umran Malik and Ruturaj Gaikwad all wished Sarfaraz Khan from West Indies.


Sarfaraz, aged 25, boasts an impressive track record, having played 39 first-class matches, accumulating 3,559 runs including 13 centuries, with a remarkable highest score of 301 not out. His batting average stands at an impressive 74.14.
