The third test match of the India versus England series has begun in Rajkot but what has marked this match is the test cap bagged by Sarfaraz Khan after his tireless efforts and endless applaudable performances in domestic cricket. Sarfaraz Khan, popularly known as ‘Don Bradman’ of domestic cricket has been awarded this cap by Anil Kumble and nobody could take their eyes off his parents who went inconsolably emotional as this big moment happened. If there’s something known as a video of the day, that moment certainly was!

Sarfaraz, Jurel To Make Test Debut
After finishing the photo shoot, Sarfaraz went straight to his father, Naushad, who went too emotional and couldn’t control his tears as he kissed the cap. This was a blasting moment. Photos of it are going viral. Also, its video has flooded the internet and netizens are cherishing his achievement and the family love. Although he was added to the team before the Visakhapatnam Test, he couldn’t get a chance to play. This cap seems to be an opportunity for him to do his bit.

Sarfaraz Khan’s Record
When it comes to domestic cricket, Sarfaraz Khan has an outstanding record. In 45 matches, he amassed 3912 runs in 66 innings. His performance includes fourteen centuries and eleven half-centuries. He also has an average of roughly 70 runs. From the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to the Ranji Trophy, Sarfaraz has demonstrated his talent everywhere.
Not only did Sarfaraz Khan make his debut in this match, but Dhruv Jurel was also given a test cap. The two debuts quickly became the subject of social media discourse and are being celebrated. Though Dhruv Jurel is relatively young, Sarfaraz Khan has put in a lot of effort over the years that has finally paid off. Shreyas Iyer came out as a disappointment in the Vishakhapatnam test and couldn’t do well in previous matches too due to which he has been ousted and because KL Rahul is unfit, Sarfaraz won this lottery.
