“Debutant ka 100 kha gaya” Fans slams Jadeja as he gets Sarfaraz Khan run out in the 3rd IND vs ENG Test.
During the recent Test match against England at the Niranjan Shah Cricket Stadium, Sarfaraz Khan experienced disappointment as India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, expressed frustration by slamming his cap against the door. This incident occurred after Sarfaraz was run out for a notable 62 runs on his Test debut. The match in Rajkot witnessed a mix of emotions as local favorite Ravindra Jadeja achieved his fourth Test hundred on the opening day.
Jadeja’s outstanding century, however, was overshadowed by Sarfaraz Khan’s run-out, which occurred in a crucial moment of the game. Sarfaraz had played an impressive knock, scoring 62 runs off just 66 balls. The unfortunate event unfolded when Jadeja, batting on 99, attempted a risky single, leaving Sarfaraz stranded mid-pitch. The hesitation and subsequent dismissal by a direct hit from Mark Wood left the atmosphere at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium somber, despite Jadeja’s milestone.
Here is the video of Sarfaraz Khan run out today:
Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s visible disappointment with the run-out highlighted his commitment to maintaining pressure on the opposition. Fans shared in the disappointment for Sarfaraz Khan and directed blame towards Ravindra Jadeja for the unfortunate run-out.
Jadeja, who was on 84 when Sarfaraz joined him at the crease, eventually reached his hundred while Sarfaraz showcased his talent with a brisk 62. Sarfaraz’s adept handling of the England spinners—Joe Root, Tom Hartley, and Rehan Ahmed—was commendable, as he displayed excellent timing and accumulated runs effectively. Notably, his half-century came off just 48 balls, marking the second-fastest debut fifty after Hardik Pandya’s achievement in 2017 against Sri Lanka.
Sarfaraz’s innings, comprising nine fours and one six, lasted 66 balls before the unfortunate run-out. Despite this setback, India finished Day 1 at 326 for 5, positioning themselves strongly in the match but regretting the loss of a promising young talent due to a regrettable mix-up on the field.
