NEW DELHI: Two days after scoring his maiden Test century against New Zealand, rising India star Sarfaraz Khan has been blessed with a baby boy, bringing joy to his family and fans.
This special moment adds to an already memorable week for the talented cricketer, who has been making headlines for his impressive performances on the field.
Sarfaraz demonstrated his exceptional batting skills during the rain-interrupted fourth day of the match in Bengaluru, scoring an impressive 150 runs.
Playing in only his fourth Test match since his debut earlier this year, the young batter described his century as a ‘dream come true’.
“Since I started playing cricket, it was my dream to play for India and score a 100 for India. I am happy,” the 26-year-old had told reporters on Saturday.

Initially, Sarfaraz was not the team’s first choice, but he secured a spot in the playing eleven for the series opener after Shubman Gill was ruled out due to a stiff neck.
Sarfaraz’s innings marked his 16th first-class century, with an impressive record of 10 out of his previous 15 centuries being scores of 150 or more, including four double hundreds.
