Latest News about Sarfaraz Khan
Sarfaraz Khan smashed the fastest List-A fifty by an Indian, reaching the milestone in just 15 balls against Punjab in the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Playing for Mumbai, he showcased his white-ball prowess with an explosive knock that highlighted his ability to dominate bowling attacks. This performance came after a strong Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where he scored his maiden T20 century.
Sarfaraz Khan returned to the Ranji Trophy and smashed his fifth career first-class double century, scoring 227 off 219 balls against Hyderabad. During this innings, he surpassed the 5,000-run mark in first-class cricket with over 5,000 runs at an average of 68.74 across 56 matches. The knock reinforced his reputation as one of India's most prolific domestic performers.
Sarfaraz Khan was picked up by Chennai Super Kings for 75 lakh during the IPL 2026 auction in December 2025. This marked a new chapter for the consistent domestic run-scorer, who had previously played for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings. The acquisition highlighted his growing value in T20 cricket despite a modest IPL career so far.
