Sarfaraz receives special call after dream debut

India’s Sarfaraz Khan has received a special call after a memorable Test debut in Rajkot against England, scoring 62 off just 66 deliveries on Thursday.

However, his dream run was stopped in the track by Mark Wood with a direct hit at the non-strikers end.

After the conclusion of day 1, which was full of emotions for his parents – who were present in the ground when he received the Test cap number 311 from legendary Anil Kumble – and drama, the wicketkeeper batter received a call from his younger brother Musheer Khan.

Musheer was part of India’s U19 World Cup squad, who lost the final against Australia.

Though he can’t make it to the stadium, but was cheering for his brother from home as you can see in the video shared buy Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) on social media.
