ICC Test Rankings Sarfaraz Khan : Young batsman Sarfaraz Khan, who has achieved great feats in domestic cricket, has now become a player of the Indian team as well. His international debut was being awaited for the last two years, which was completed in the Test series against England. The way Sarfaraz has scored runs in domestic cricket, he has made a similar debut in international cricket as well. He has already joined the list of select players in India who have scored half-centuries in both the innings of the first Test. Not only this, he has entered the list of top 100 players of ICC rankings.
Sarfaraz scored half-centuries in both innings of debut test against England
Sarfaraz Khan made his debut in the third match of the Test series being played against England. In the first inning of this match played in Rajkot, Sarfaraz Khan played an excellent inning of 62 runs. In this, 9 fours and one sky-high six came from his bat. After this, when he came out to bat in the second innings, he continued his blast there also. This time Sarfaraz scored 68 runs on 72 balls. He hit 6 fours and three sixes. This is the reason that with his debut, he has been included in the top 100 list of ICC rankings.
Sarfaraz came to 75th place in ICC Test rankings
Sarfaraz Khan is currently at 75th position in the ICC Test rankings. His rating is 419. The big thing is that apart from India, he has been included in the list of many great players from all over the world. In the list of top 100 rankings, he has overtaken Ravichandran Ashwin, one of the star players of the Indian team. Who is currently at 80th place with a rating of 394. At the same time, he has also left behind Marco Jansen, Rachin Ravindra and Tej Narayan Chanderpaul.
Sarfaraz’s real test will be in the next test
This is the talk of Sarfaraz Khan’s debut and entry in the ICC Test rankings, but now the real test will be for Sarfaraz. Even England would not have expected that a player like Sarfaraz Khan would join the Indian squad. Sarfaraz has not played international matches before, so the English bowler did not know much about his batting style. Now Sarfaraz has played one match and England has seen his batting style, so they will bowl to him according to that strategy in the next match. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how they manage to perform when they enter Ranchi in the second match.
