Sarfaraz Khan's Viral Post Amid Selection Doubts for India

Sarfaraz Khan, a cricketer from Mumbai, has shared a cryptic post on social media reflecting his determination despite ongoing uncertainty regarding his inclusion in India's Test team. This comes as India prepares for a two-Test series against Sri Lanka, starting August 15.

Despite having an impressive first-class average of 64.73 over 62 matches, Sarfaraz has been overlooked for selection once again. His recent Instagram story featured a message indicating his resolve to fight for his place, referencing a scene from the film Jersey. He was previously part of India's squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but did not play any matches.

Sarfaraz's notable performance in a previous series against New Zealand, where he scored 150 runs in one Test, has not translated into consistent opportunities. His recent fitness improvements and return to the IPL in 2026, where he scored 161 runs, have not yet secured him a spot in the national team.
