New Delhi. It would not be wrong to call Sarfaraz Khan the uncrowned king. Uncrowned because Sarfaraz, who scored a lot of runs in first class cricket, had to wait a long time for entry in the Indian team. However, now before the second test, the selectors have included him in the squad after facing a lot of criticism. On the other hand, Sarfaraz’s younger brother Musheer Khan is also seen playing record-breaking innings in the Under-19 World Cup. When Sarfaraz was asked about him, Sarfaraz told that Chhote Mian is an even more dangerous batsman than him.
Speaking on ESPN Cricinfo, Sarfaraz said, ‘He is a better batsman than me. I am not saying this because he is my brother. Sometimes, I may struggle, but watching his technique and trying to work on what he is doing will give me confidence. His behaviour, batting flow is quite good. Sometimes when I am not batting well, I watch him and learn. If I bat 300 balls, Musheer will bat 300 balls, even if he has bowled a lot. Our middle brother, Moeen, used to do throwdowns. With two cricketers in the house, he decided to switch to training.
Which shot of Musheer is better than Sarfaraz?
Sarfaraz talked about Musheer’s shot. He told, ‘Mushir’s reverse sweep is better than mine. Sweep, I think mine is better, because I have better judgment which comes from experience. We always want others to do better. Now when he bowls and I bat, there is a very good competition.
Shoaib Malik ready to make a U-turn, relieved from ‘fixing’, when will he return?
Sarfaraz Khan was seen practicing with the Indian team before the second test. He has a tough competition with Rajat Patidar. Now it remains to be seen which player the captain and coach would prefer to select between Patidar and Sarfaraz. The teams of India and England are ready to compete with each other on 2 February.
