New DelhiSarfaraz Khan scored his maiden Test century at the Bangalore ground and his error-correcting partnership with Rishabh Pant brought India back into the game.
During this partnership there was a scene on the field reminiscent of the 1992 World Cup. Rishabh Pant narrowly escaped off the first ball of the 56th innings. In fact, Sarfaraz threw a long throw from Matt Henry He pushed the ball deep and picked out a single, but without looking at the fielder he went for the second run. In such a situation, Sarfaraz stopped him by shouting.

Virat Rohit Gautam laughed

Sarfaraz Khan was so anxious to send Pant back that he started jumping on the field to convince Rishabh Pant not to run away. When the entire Indian team, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who were sitting in the dressing room, saw Sarfaraz Khan’s jump, they laughed. Pant was lucky that Daryl Mitchell was well ahead of the stumps while the throw didn’t hit the stumps. Commentator Ravi Shastri said while enjoying, “Sarfaraz Khan is enjoying the rain dance here.”

Remembered Miandad Kiran More controversies

When I saw the way Sarfaraz Khan was jumping on the field, a 32-year-old incident came to mind. The altercation between Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad and Indian wicketkeeper Kiran More during the 1992 World Cup match between India and Pakistan is still widely discussed. Javed Miandad did the famous frog jump in this match to annoy Kiran More. World Cup match between India and Pakistan on March 4, 1992

Sarfaraz became a hero from scratch

Meanwhile, Sarfaraz Khan scored his first Test victory on the morning of the fourth day. He was seen happily waving his bat towards the Indian dressing room, becoming the 22nd Indian batsman to score a duck and a century in the same Test. Shubman Gill, who had to miss this game due to fitness issues, had recently achieved a similar feat in the Chennai Test against Bangladesh.
