India’s Sarfaraz Khan scored a double century off 206 balls for Mumbai against Hyderabad in a Ranji Trophy Elite Group C game. This marked his fifth first-class double hundred, with a total of 227 runs off 219 deliveries, including 19 fours and nine sixes. Khan’s partnership with Siddhesh Lad helped Mumbai surpass 500 runs after a shaky start at 82-3.
Sarfaraz Khan has been in excellent form recently, showcasing his talent in various domestic tournaments. He notably achieved a record 15-ball half-century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the fastest by an Indian male batter in List A cricket. His consistent performances have kept him in the spotlight for a potential return to the national team.
The right-handed batsman was a standout performer for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, finishing as the team’s second-highest run-scorer with 329 runs in seven matches at an impressive average and strike rate. Additionally, Sarfaraz secured an IPL contract with Chennai Super Kings for the 2026 season at his base price of Rs. 75 lakh.
