1st Test: A Childhood Dream Is Fulfilled, Says Sarfaraz Khan On His Maiden Test Ton V NZ
Sarfaraz Khan: Sarfaraz Khan delivered a stellar performance on Saturday, scoring his first Test century (150) and leading India’s remarkable recovery in the first Test against New Zealand. With the hosts setting a modest 107-run target, Sarfaraz expressed confidence that early wickets on a deteriorating pitch could turn the match in India’s favour.
“It felt really good to score a century for my country, fulfilling a childhood dream,” Sarfaraz told reporters at the end of the day’s play on Saturday. “It won’t be easy for New Zealand. The pitch has its challenges; the ball is moving and cutting unpredictably, and there will be turn. If we can get breakthroughs early tomorrow, they might find themselves in a similar spot as we did,” he added.
Sarfaraz’s century, in just his fourth Test appearance, marked a major milestone for the 26-year-old. “It felt really good to score a century for my country, fulfilling a childhood dream,” he said with a smile.
