It was a day etched in joy for 26-year-old Sarfaraz Khan as he not only embarked on his much-awaited India Test debut but also smashed a scintillating fifty. The wait was long, the emotions high, and the occasion turned even sweeter with a heartwarming call from his younger brother, Musheer.
Surprise Call Caps Memorable Day
After smashing a brilliant 66 runs on his Test debut, Sarfaraz Khan received a heartwarming surprise – a video call from his younger brother Musheer, who had recently returned from U19 World Cup final. The brothers, known for their similar batting styles, shared a special moment as Musheer congratulated Sarfaraz on his dream debut.

Emotional Rollercoaster for Family
The day was filled with emotions not just for Sarfaraz but also for his family. Tears welled up in his father’s eyes as he saw his son don the India cap. The phone call from Musheer, who Sarfaraz considers an even better batsman than himself, was the perfect icing on the cake.
Positive Intent Fuels Crucial Runs
Sarfaraz’s knock wasn’t just about the runs, but the intent behind them. He scored the first 43 runs of his 50-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja, setting the tone for India’s fightback after early wickets. His innings, though cut short by a run-out, proved crucial in helping India reach a respectable 326/5, keeping them in contention for a bigger total on Day 2.
A Day to Cherish
“It was a pleasant surprise,” said Sarfaraz, his voice thick with emotion. “Half my family is here and the other half is back home. This day will stay with me forever. I thank the almighty for this opportunity.”
