Sarfaraz Khan is the 2024 incarnation of Javed Miandad, like 17 days ago, now trouble will fall on New Zealand!
Javed Miandad has been a great batsman of Pakistan. In his time, he was counted among the batsmen who used to hit sixes off bowlers. But, if you want to see the incarnation of Javed Miandad of the 1980s in 2024, then you can see Sarfaraz Khan. No, we are not saying this. Rather, this is what former Indian cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has said. India's legendary opening batsman has described Sarfaraz as Javed Miandad in 2024 not because of his face but because of his playing style.
Sarfaraz Khan is Javed Miandad's incarnation: Manjrekar.
Sanjay Manjrekar said on ESPN Cricinfo that we used to see Javed Miandad playing in 1980. And now we are watching Sarfaraz. Looking at Sarfaraz's game, it seems that he is the incarnation of Javed Miandad in 2024. It is clear that Sanjay Manjrekar has made a big statement by saying this.
What does this teammate expect from Sarfaraz?
Team India and its fans have high expectations from Sarfaraz Khan on the fourth day of the Bengaluru Test. The reason for this is his aggressive play on the third day of the Test match, where he remained unbeaten after scoring 70 runs off 78 balls. If Sarfaraz's teammate Kuldeep Yadav is to be believed, Sarfaraz Khan can live up to India's expectations.
What did Sarfaraz do 17 days ago?
Kuldeep Yadav said that we all have seen Sarfaraz Khan scoring a double-century in the Irani Cup. We are hoping that he will repeat the same feat in the test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. Kuldeep said that when you play for India, technique does not matter as long as you are scoring runs. Sarfaraz Khan scored a double century in the Irani Cup on 2 October. Now if he plays the same innings on 19 October, 17 days later, then despite taking a lead over New Zealand, trouble may break out.
Sarfaraz Khan is playing his fourth Test for India in Bengaluru. He has scored 3 half-centuries in the 3 Tests he has played before this. After England, New Zealand is the second team against which Sarfaraz is playing a Test match. Doing well here will mean getting a chance to tour Australia. And, as Manjrekar has also said, he can play an important role in Australia.
