Team India and England are currently up against each other for the third time in the series in Rajkot. However, it was quite a special day in the life of team India’s middle-order batter, Sarfraz Khan, who made his international debut for team India in the white-ball format for the first time.
However, one of the most touching moments before the start of the match was Sarfraz Khan’s debut cap ceremony, as it made his father, who was seeing his son play for the first time for Team India.
Sarfaraz Khan made his debut quite memorable as he made a firey 62 of 66 deliveries for team India in his first inning, which included nine boundaries and one maximum. Sarfraz Khan was all set to make a 100 in his debut but was unfortunately runout after his miscommunication with Ravindra Jadeja.
However, Sarfraz Khan revealed that it was because of Surya Kumar Yadav that he was attending and seeing his son make his debut for Team India.
Sarfraz Khan’s father, Naushad Khan, said that initially, he thought that he would not travel to Rajkot because it would put his son under some sort of pressure, but it was Surya Kumar Yadav’s message that made him travel to Rajkot.
Naushad said that Surya had messaged him, saying, “I do understand your emotions. But trust me, when I made my Test debut (last year in March against Australia in Nagpur) and was receiving my Test cap, my father and mother were just behind.”
“And that moment was something beyond special. These moments don’t come too often. So I would suggest that you go “
After getting this message from Surya Kumar Yadav, Naushad Khan couldn’t stop himself from traveling to Rajkot to see his son play for Team India.
