Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan has sent a timely recall to the BCCI selectors about his inclusion in the Indian Test team, scoring a century for Mumbai while playing against Haryana in the Buchi Babu Tournament.
The right-hander got to his century in the final session of Day 1 of the contest between Haryana and Mumbai off just 99 balls. He hit Haryana's Ishant Bharadwaj for a massive six as he got to his landmark.
So far, it has been good going for Sarfaraz Khan in the ongoing Buchi Babu tournament. He scored a century in Mumbai’s first game against the TNCA XI. He eventually scored 138 not out, including ten fours and sixes at the Gojan College ground. He has batted with an aggressive intent while scoring centuries in both those games.

Sarfaraz Khan Churning Out Runs In Domestic Cricket
The batter was praised for getting to his landmark and took all the applause as he waved his bat after he took his helmet off. Sarfaraz has been making all the right noises since he was axed from India’s main Test squad that played the Test series against England. Sarfaraz was eventually dismissed for 111 runs.
Sarfaraz Looking To Grab Number 4 Slot
His knock is a timely reminder to Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir ahead of India’s next Test series against the West Indies at home. The series will be played in October and Sarfaraz has been churning these runs at the right time. With Karun Nair unlikely to be selected in the home series against West Indies, after his poor show against England, Sarfaraz can look to bat in the middle-order for India. So far, he has played six Tests for India, scoring 371 runs for India with a best of 150 against the Kiwis in Bengaluru in 2024. The last Test against the Kiwis in that same series was his last Test match for India.
