Indian middle-order batsman Sarfaraz Khan displayed amazing batting skills, appearing opulent as he scored an unprecedented 70 runs off just 78 deliveries. He was Virat Kohli’s ideal partner as they stitched a 136-run partnership for the third wicket before the latter left after nicking off a Glenn Philips delivery to be dismissed on the last delivery of Day 3 of the ongoing Test match between England and India at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja praised Sarfaraz’s management of the spinners for using the scoring arc in a way never seen before and noted how he swings differently than most other hitters.
It is a new period, he is a different type of player, and that is how the attitude has been. It is rare for fielders to be placed at third man. Although they are familiar with his style of play in domestic cricket, a fielder was only used at the end of today’s full international innings. Against spin, he is a master. While he was playing spin, he matured. He engages in spinner play. As evidenced by the wagon-wheel, he typically uses the pace. When he hits a six to midwicket, the ‘V’ is behind. “He colored the areas that weren’t previously colored and left the areas that were previously colored,” Jadeja said in a Colors Cineplex debate.

The same conversation included Aakash Chopra, a former cricket player who is now a commentator. Sarfaraz has discovered his formula for scoring runs, Chopra said, and praised the Indian domestic circuit for producing players like him.
When a rank-turner is used, a wagon-wheel square is typically seen. Nevertheless, it is the way he plays. It’s up to you to figure out how to score runs. The peak of a mountain can be reached in a variety of ways. He has discovered the road, and everyone must go there. This player’s success indicates how strong Indian domestic cricket is. It prepares players before dispatching them. Despite taking ten wickets in Mumbai, Ajaz Patel didn’t care. He believed that he could play bowlers such as Ajaz. No strain was in him,” Chopra said.

Throughout the day, Sarfaraz batted with a hunger for runs in any form or fashion, hitting three fours and one maximum past the third-man area. India has 125 runs to make up the difference before deciding what score they want the Kiwis to pursue.
