Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan shed a few tears after reaching his century against Madhya Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy final here on Thursday. He got emotional a second time when he spoke to the media at the end of play.
Sarfaraz dedicated the knock to his father and mentor, Naushad Khan.
“Abbu (father) and I started my cricket journey from absolutely nothing. The dream was to play for Mumbai. Another dream was to score a century in a Ranji Trophy final. That is why I got emotional when I reached my hundred. Abbu gets all the credit. If he was not around, then none of this would be possible. I’ve had my troubled times, but Abbu never left my side,” Sarfaraz, who could not control his tears, said.
