Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz Khan has been hit by an injury at the worst possible time and has been ruled out of action for a significant period of time, as per a report in TOI.
He carried his good form to international cricket and played some impactful knocks for India before being dropped. Despite not-so-bad performances, he was snubbed for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
He underwent an incredible transformation, losing 17kgs in 2 months, and featured Kanga League and the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament. The 27-year-old smashed back-to-back centuries in the Buchi Babu Invitational against TNCA XI and Haryana to send a message to selectors.
