In the Rajkot Test match against England, rookie batsman Sarfaraz Khan cautioned Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was getting close to a double century, against taking a reckless single during the second innings. After missing 62 runs in the first inning due to a misunderstanding with Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz did not want Jaiswal to suffer the same fate.
Jaiswal was looking for a single to complete his second double century in international cricket while he was batting on 199 runs when Sarafaraz was heard shouting at him not to say “bhagna mat pahele.”
But while both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz celebrated his double century, the 22-year-old delicately nudged the ball to pick up an easy single on the following delivery. Social media users have been sharing the same video a lot.

Notably, none of England’s strategies seemed to succeed against Sarfaraz and Jaiswal, as they both appeared to be in outstanding form during the second inning. India scored 430/4 runs in the second inning because of scores of 214* from Jaiswal and 68* from Sarfaraz.
