Sarfaraz Khan sends BIG message to BCCI selectors with another century amid India snub

Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz Khan on Tuesday made a big statement with yet another century in the Ranji Trophy game against Delhi. Sarfaraz has smashed a spectacular hundred just days after the BCCI snubbed him for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar (Test series) against Australia. Despite his brilliant show with the bat in India's first-class setup for the past two seasons, the Chetan Sharma-led Indian selection committee did not pick him for the four-match series against Australia.
