India’s Test cap No. 312, Sarfaraz Khan is living his father Naushad’s dream. On Thursday, the right-handed batsman, 26, from Mumbai fulfilled his father’s dream of donning the whites in a Test match. And he did not disappoint his father, team and the entire nation.

Attacking knock

Sarfaraz scored an attacking 62 off 66 deliveries with nine fours and a six to cap off a remarkable first day of being an India Test cricketer. He dominated the fifth-wicket stand of 77 with centurion Ravindra Jadeja, the latter’s share being only 15. Sarfaraz looked good for more, but his innings ended in an unfortunate run out.
