AB de Villiers wants the Sarfaraz Magic to shine in the 2nd IND vs ENG Test match 

Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has shared his joy on seeing Sarfaraz finally receiving the ultimate call-up, which has eluded him for a long time. In one of his videos on his YouTube channel, de Villiers has hailed the batter's formidable numbers in domestic cricket.

"It's just very exciting for me. His record in first-class cricket is quite outstanding, and if there's a guy that deserves it, it's certainly him. He has played 66 innings, 3912 runs, and an average of 69.85. 14 hundreds and 11 fifties, guys, that is not normal,” ABD said.

"That is a very, very good first-class record. I know it's a big jump up to international cricket against England, on the biggest stage, I hope he gets a chance because Rajat Patidar has also been playing well," he added.
