In the absence of injured wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals (DC) asked Mumbai-based Sarfaraz Khan to don the gloves in their opening game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Lucknow on Saturday. Sarfaraz, 25, despite taking a couple of catches, had a forgettable game behind the stumps and scored just four in DC’s 50-run defeat. 

Former Mumbai wicketkeepers Zulfiqar Parkar, 65, and Sulakshan Kulkarni, 56, felt that Sarfaraz’s glove work needs improvement. Kulkarni went on to say that Sarfaraz is not a natural ’keeper.
