Apart from his brilliant batting on his Test debut, Sarfaraz Khan has been getting praise for his attitude as well from the fans.
On Sunday Sarfaraz Khan celebrated Yashasvi Jaiswal’s double century as his own milestone, showing his support to the young left-hander. Both of them have played together in domestic cricket for Mumbai and have grown together in recent years.
Netizens remembered Suresh Raina when Sarfaraz celebrated Jaiswal’s double century the moment both of them began running for Jaiswal’s 200th run.
Batting on 199*, Jaiswal tapped Joe Root on the offside into the space in the cover region and both Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan started running on the cue. As they took their first steps, realizing that a single was easy, both raised their hands in celebration, creating a beautiful, picturesque moment. Sarfaraz soon joined in Jaiswal’s celebration and both shared a warm bear hug.
Fans praise the attitude of Sarfaraz Khan:
This reminded fans of the time when Suresh Raina celebrated Virat Kohli’s century before even Kohli during the 2015 World Cup.
Afterward, when both were walking back after Rohit Sharma declared India’s innings, Sarfaraz decided to stay behind Jaiswal and told the left-hander to walk in front alone and soak in all the applause. Jaiswal tried to convince Sarfaraz to walk with him, but the latter insisted it was Jaiswal’s moment and he should only have the limelight.
Fans praised this brilliant attitude from Sarfaraz Khan, also recalling that he never gave any controversial statement even when he was not getting picked for the team despite his stunning domestic record.
Comedian Abijit Ganguly penned Sarfaraz’s attitude brilliantly, writing, “I love Sarfaraz’s attitude. It is so pleasing. Him hyping Yashasvi and asking him to lead walking off. Him celebrating with arms raised as they run the single for Yashasvi’s double. Even before he got into team, him coming as sub fielder, just so ready to be anywhere. So heartening.”
