After being ignored for the upcoming four-match Test series against Australia, Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has talked about his transition from a white-ball player to red ball player. He recalled how he waited for his opportunity and then responded with a triple hundred while playing for Mumbai Ranji Trophy.
Sarfaraz explained how everyone used to say that he is only a white-ball player and not fit for red-ball.
“When I returned from the World Cup and played IPL for 1-2 years, some people said that Sarfaraz Khan is a white ball player who will not be able to play against the red ball and that he is the only player who can bat for the last 4 overs with the white ball. But I knew that I could do it, and I have been working hard on it.
“I was waiting for an opportunity, where I could get 4-5 matches to play continuously in the Ranji Trophy, so I’ll show them who I am. When that day came, I made a comeback for Mumbai, and my first century for Mumbai ended up going straight to the triple century. After that, I realised that things aren’t as difficult as people make them out to be. I also had a dream from the childhood of raising the bat and helmet in my hand with Mumbai’s logo on my chest, so the taste for that thing is never going away and I will never let it go.”
Sarfaraz Khan also talked on how AB de Villiers praised him.
“It would be better if we didn’t talk about him. Rarely have I seen him practice. But I asked him once, ‘why don’t you practice much’? So, he said ‘when I was of your age, I used to practice a lot, and I was not as talented as you are now, so just keep playing’,” said Sarfaraz Khan.
