Team India has definitely picked Sarfaraz Khan in the squad for the Test series against Bangladesh. But, he was not given a chance to play in a single match. Now Sarfaraz Khan has scored a brilliant century in the Irani Cup. Another great innings has been played for Mumbai in first class cricket. He has once again staked his claim for a place in Team India by scoring hundreds.
Sarfaraz Khan’s century in the Irani Cup
Sarfaraz Khan completed his century before lunch on the second day of the match. By lunch he had scored 103 runs off 155 balls, including 14 fours. This is Sarfaraz Khan’s 15th century in first class cricket. After a shaky start thanks to Sarfaraz’s century, the Mumbai team now seem to be on their way to a big score in their first innings.

Sarfaraz’s century begs questions
Sarfraz was released before the last match of the Test series against Bangladesh in Kanpur and was sent to play the Irani Cup. Sarfaraz scored a century as soon as he entered the Irani Cup. Sarfaraz’s century is also questioning the Indian team management that why he can’t make a place in the playing eleven?
Sarfraz Special
He has so far played an important and sharp innings to strengthen Mumbai’s position#IranianCup , @IDFCFIRSTBank

After a strong innings against Rest of India on the Irani Cup pitch, it is now expected that he will not only be picked but also get a chance to play in the 3-Test home series against New Zealand. Can get eleven.
