Latest News about Sarfaraz Khan
Sarfaraz Khan was recalled to India’s Test squad for the Sri Lanka series as a replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan. The call-up came after he reportedly worked intensely on his fitness and returned looking noticeably leaner, reviving his chances in the national setup.
Chennai Super Kings bought Sarfaraz Khan for his base price of Rs 75 lakh at the IPL 2026 mini-auction. The signing ended his run of going unsold in previous auctions and gave him a fresh opportunity after strong domestic performances, including a quickfire 73 off 22 balls in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Sarfaraz Khan set a new benchmark in the Vijay Hazare Trophy by striking the fastest List-A fifty by an Indian, reaching the mark in 15 balls against Punjab. The innings underlined his aggressive form in domestic white-ball cricket and came soon after his maiden T20 century in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
