The captain of India, Rohit Sharma, attempted to pull a bouncer from Mark Wood but failed to time it and was unable to predict the pace. The 36-year-old, who made his debut on Thursday, February 15, threw an arm around Sarfaraz Khan as they walked back to the pavilion. The 26-year-old posted the picture to his Instagram account, and it quickly gained popularity on the platform.
Sarfaraz Khan put in a lot of work in domestic cricket for a while before making his debut for the national squad in the third Test against England in Rajkot. Considering how quickly three wickets fell in a row, the 26-year-old was supposed to bat considerably earlier. Sarfaraz was padded up for over three hours, but the team management sent the seasoned Ravindra Jadeja ahead of him to keep the right-hand-left-hand combo going.

The captain of India attempted to pull Mark Wood for a boundary in the match’s 64th over, but Ben Stokes made an easy catch since the opener was unable to predict the ball’s velocity. As Rohit left the field after amassing 131 runs, the stadium’s supporters were standing, but Sarfaraz Khan was prepared to move into the center.
The returning Rohit Sharma gave his Mumbai teammate a pat on the back as he approached the field, symbolizing the passing of the torch.
In the 2011 ODI World Cup final in Mumbai, Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary cricketer, was seen giving a message to Virat Kohli as the latter was coming out to bat. The picture has become iconic, and if Rohit becomes well-known in world cricket, the same can be said of Sarfaraz’s brief encounter with him.
Nonetheless, the cricketer from Mumbai had a fantastic start. In Test cricket, India had been searching for Rishabh Pant’s replacement for a while, thus, they tested middle-striker Suryakumar Yadav and middle-rower Ishan Kishan. Nonetheless, Sarfaraz Khan appears to be the answer because of his aggressive style of cricket, which helped India regain some momentum.
After an intermediate misunderstanding with Ravindra Jadeja, he left. After making 62 runs off 64 deliveries and heading back, Sarfaraz appeared down. However, a video call from his brother Musheer Khan, who just competed for India in the U19 World Cup in South Africa, lifted his spirits.
