Sarfaraz Khan Ranji Trophy career

Sarfaraz Khan began his first-class career for Mumbai against Bengal in 2014 however he only managed to play three matches for the team that year. With chances hard to come by due to the presence of some big names in the team, Sarfaraz Khan decided to play for Uttar Pradesh. However, the move did not yield much result as she did not get enough matches under his belt. The right-hander then decided to make the switch back to Mumbai and since then has been heavily scoring runs in domestic cricket.

The coronavirus affected the cricket scenario with no domestic matches being played for two years but Sarfaraz has not let it affect him. The middle-order batsman in four innings this season scored a total of 551 runs which included scores of 275, 63, 48 and 165 while in his career Sarfaraz has played only 22 matches scoring  

Mumbai vs Uttrakhand highlights

Mumbai decided to bat first after winning the toss. Skipper Prithvi Shaw and Yashasvi Jaiswal both got out cheaply despite getting starts. While Shaw was dismissed for 21 runs, Jaiswal departed for 35 runs. Armaan Jaffer and debutant Suved Parkar put up a fighting partnership before Jaffer was dismissed for just 60 runs. Sarfaraz walked in at No.5 with Mumbai slightly unsettled at 176/3 and from there on the youngster dominated Uttrakhand bowlers. His innings eventually ended on 153 runs by Mayank Mishra, however, the knock put Mumbai firmly in control of the match. AT the time of writing  SUved Parkar was batting unbeaten on 171 and was being accompanied by Shams Mulani at the crease.
