Celebrating Cricket’s Passion: Sarfaraz Khan on Kohli and Sharma
In the vibrant world of Indian cricket, young talent Sarfaraz Khan has expressed his admiration for the legendary Virat Kohli as the team gears up for an exciting two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Sarfaraz highlighted Kohli’s exceptional dedication and fervor for the sport, noting that his approach is truly one-of-a-kind.
“Virat Kohli bhaiya embodies a unique passion, love, and commitment to cricket that is truly inspiring. I hold him in high regard,” remarked Sarfaraz during an interview with Jio Cinema. He further emphasized Kohli’s fearless attitude towards challenges, stating, “He always declares he will take on any bowler without hesitation. His courage and determination are remarkable.”
Having made his Test debut earlier this year against England, Sarfaraz has been selected to represent India in the upcoming matches against Bangladesh. In just three Test appearances so far, he has accumulated 200 runs at an impressive strike rate of 79.37. His debut performance was particularly noteworthy; he scored a rapid 62 runs off only 66 balls, capturing the attention of cricket enthusiasts across the nation.
The highly anticipated Test series between India and Bangladesh is scheduled to kick off on September 19 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. The second match will follow in Kanpur starting September 27.
Sarfaraz also took a moment to commend India’s captain Rohit Sharma, describing him as more than just a teammate but rather like family. “Rohit bhaiya creates an environment where everyone feels at ease; he treats us all equally,” said Sarfaraz with appreciation.
He elaborated on Rohit’s leadership style by saying that it fosters confidence among players: “His positive demeanor uplifts our spirits significantly.” Drawing a parallel from cinema, Sarfaraz likened Rohit’s team-building skills to those of Aamir Khan’s character in the iconic film Lagaan. “To me, he’s like Aamir Khan from Lagaan, uniting us as if we were family,” he added fondly.
As anticipation builds for this upcoming series against Bangladesh—where both seasoned players and emerging talents will showcase their skills—the camaraderie within Team India continues to shine through stories like those shared by Sarfaraz Khan about his inspirations both on and off the field.
