WATCH: Sarfaraz Khan Smashes 5 Consecutive Fours Off Akash Deep In Duleep Trophy 2024

New Delhi: In the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024, India A showed a great comeback in the second session of Day 3 at Chinnaswamy Stadium with three early wickets leaving India B hanging at 22/3, despite taking a 90-run first-innings lead. The responsibilities came on the shockers of Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan to provide stability to the innings after they came in the middle but little did the opposition know of the storm that awaited them.
The right-handed batter looked in absolute good touch and control as he hit five back-to-back fours against Akash Deep who resumed the proceedings after Tea. The Mumbai-based batter was ready to hit the boundaries after getting his first one towards the second slip of the third man.
On the other hand, Akash Deep tried to bowl a length ball on the third delivery but again the result was the same, the Star batter smashed a four toward the covers and then he ended up hammering the next two balls for a four and collected 20 runs for himself and the team.

Before getting out off Avesh Khan, Sarfaraz managed to hit seven fours and a six in his 46-run knock off just 36 balls. Earlier, Musheer Khan who is the brother of Sarfaraz Khan, hogged all the spotlight for India B after smashing a terrific century against Shubman Gill’s India A in Duleep Trophy 2024, held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. On the back of this hundred, the 19-year-old batter has breached a long-standing feat held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
