Sarfaraz Khan hits 154 in Ranji after New Zealand omission
Sarfaraz responded to his omission with a century that put Mumbai in a strong position against Himachal Pradesh.
Sarfaraz Khan scored 154 off 228 balls for Mumbai against Himachal Pradesh on Monday after missing selection for India's two-Test series in New Zealand. The right-hander, who turns 29 on Thursday, struck 19 fours and added 210 runs for the fifth wicket with Akash Anand, who made an unbeaten 117.
Mumbai declared at 528 for 8 and hold a first-innings lead of 388 runs at the Lohnu Cricket Ground in Bilaspur. Sarfaraz last played a Test for India in November 2024 against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium, where he scored 0 and 1.
India's squad for the November series is led by Shubman Gill, with Jasprit Bumrah returning after missing the Sri Lanka Tests due to a knee injury. The first Test begins on 19 November at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.
