Sarfaraz Khan HILARIOUSLY Denies Rishabh Pant a Run During India-New Zealand Bengaluru Test | WATCH

India vs New Zealand: It got a little hilarious in the middle as Sarfaraz Khan turned down a second run to Rishabh Pant during Bengaluru Test. The incident took place on Saturday during the first session of day four. Sarfaraz had taken a single and gone to the non-striker's end, but Pant was looking for a second run. Pant had almost come half the pitch and then he saw Sarfaraz jumping and asking him to stop. Eventually, Pant turned back and settled for just a single. The way Sarfaraz was jumping at the non-striker's end would remind fans of former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad doing something similar. Here is the clip that is now being loved by fans and is going viral. 💯 2024 Version Of Sir Javed Miandad 🇵🇰 Sarfraz Khan 🇮🇳. #RohitSharma #INDvsNZ #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/nNxrjY5h15— Gurtej Grewal (@GGurtej) October 19, 2024 Meanwhile, Sarfaraz has hit his maiden Test century and helped India recover from a tricky situation. This is Sarfaraz Khan's 16th first-class hundred. 10 of the previous 15 have been 150-plus scores, including four doubles, the most recent being 222* he scored for Mumbai against Rest of India in the Irani Cup in Lucknow earlier this month.He scored a duck in the first innings but rapidly corrected matters in the second especially on Day 4 of the 1st Test vs NZ. He had shown his aptitude with a match-winning double-century in the Irani Cup before this game.Sarfaraz acknowledged the audience and his teammates as he celebrated his hundred with his bat hoisted high in the 57th over with Rishabh Pant on the other side of the crease. This achievement is just the 22nd time an Indian player has scored both a duck and a century in the same Test. Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan notably also accomplished this in earlier games. Rishabh Pant joined Sarfaraz on Day 4 after Kohli was dismissed for 70 and suffered a knee injury. Beginning the day undefeated on 70, Sarfaraz maintained a balanced approach mixing bold strokes with care under cloudy clouds.
