Sarfaraz Khan got angry, he beat up the bowler who took his brother's wicket!
In the Duleep Trophy match being played in Bengaluru, the 'Khan family' is showing its strength every day. Out of the two brothers playing for India B against India A, the younger Nawab Mushir Khan scored a memorable century in the first innings and showed his prowess for two days, while on the third day, the elder brother Sarfaraz Khan attacked and thrashed the bowlers of India A. Sarfaraz, who failed in the first innings of the match, batted explosively in the second innings and during this, he hit 5 consecutive fours on the India-A bowler who had dismissed his younger brother on zero.
On the third day of this first-round match at Chinnaswamy Stadium, India A's first innings collapsed at 231 runs. In such a situation, India B, who came into the second innings with a lead of 90 runs, lost the wickets of captain Abhimanyu Easwaran, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Musheer Khan for just 22 runs. In the first innings, Musheer lifted the team with a tremendous innings of 181 runs and took the score to 321 runs. In the second innings, he could not repeat it and was out in 6 balls without opening his account. He was dismissed by fast bowler Akash Deep, who continued the strong bowling of the first innings.
As soon as his younger brother was out, his elder brother Sarfaraz Khan stepped on the crease. Right-handed batsman Sarfaraz was out after scoring just 9 runs in the first innings, which was shocking for him because he had been playing big innings continuously in domestic cricket for the last 3-4 years. He took revenge for this in the second innings, in which he looked very angry and was batting to thrash the bowlers. The victim of his anger was Akash Deep, who dismissed Mushir on 0.
Before this over, Akash had given only 6 runs in 4 overs and taken 2 wickets but everything changed in the fifth over. After leaving the first ball empty, Sarfaraz hit 5 consecutive fours in the next 5 balls. After this, Sarfaraz hit a six and a four on consecutive balls against Khalil Ahmed. However, his attractive innings could not be converted into a big score and he became the victim of Avesh Khan after scoring 46 runs in 36 balls. He hit 7 fours and 1 six.
By the way, not only Sarfaraz, but Rishabh Pant, who formed a partnership with him, was also in the same mood in this innings. Leaving behind the failure of the first innings, he also batted indiscriminately in the second innings. The veteran Indian wicketkeeper completed his half-century in just 34 balls and returned to the pavilion after scoring 61 runs in 47 balls. Pant hit 9 fours and 2 sixes. By the stumps on the third day, India B had scored 150 runs after losing 6 wickets in the second innings and the team had a lead of 240 runs.
