News India Live, Digital Desk: Be it domestic cricket or international cricket, there are some players whose hunger for runs never ends. Sarfaraz Khan is one of them. When Sarfaraz’s bat moves on the Ranji Trophy field, records automatically start being made. Recently he surprised everyone by scoring another tremendous double century. But do you know that behind this brilliant innings, it was not only his net practice but the ‘last minute’ advice of a special legend also played a big role?
Often when a player is working hard, sometimes he needs mental support more than technical support. Something similar happened with Sarfaraz also.
When we were in trouble, we came to the aid of ‘experience’.
Sarfaraz Khan has given the credit of his big innings to a great player of Team India. Sarfaraz says that just before the start of the match, he got such advice, which changed his entire batting style. This was not a simple coaching tip, but the experience of a veteran who understood the nuances of cricket.
Sarfaraz told how that ‘Guru-Mantra’ helped him maintain his composure on the field and stay on the pitch for a long time. When you move towards a double century, the body starts getting tired and the concentration gets lost, that’s where that advice came in handy for Sarfaraz.
Confluence of mastery and simplicity
Many have talent in cricket, but those who listen to others and implement them, prove to be the horses of the long race. Sarfaraz proved that even though he has become a star today, the advice of his seniors and great players of the country is still a line of stone for him.
Sarfaraz, who used to hit fours and sixes on the field, has now become an important hope not only for Mumbai but for the entire Indian cricket team. This double century has made it clear that he is a ‘merchant of runs’ not only in shorter formats but also playing long and marathon innings.
A message for every young player
This story of Sarfaraz tells that no matter how great a height you reach, when you learn from the experience of a legend, your hard work gets enhanced. At present, there is discussion everywhere in the cricket circles that what did that ‘veteran’ say in Sarfaraz’s ear, due to which the double century seemed so easy.
