Sarfaraz Has Room To Play His Shots As He Always Stays Beside The Line, Says Aakash Chopra
Indian Premier League: It is no secret that Sarfaraz Khan is a pro at finding runs via unorthodox methods and in areas rarely accessed by Indian Test batters. The first Test in Bengaluru was an illustration of this aspect – where 96 of his 150 runs in the second innings came behind the wicket.
With supple wrists, solid bat swing, and nimble footwork, Sarfaraz brought out an array of ramp shots, cuts and sweeps through the square of the wicket, especially in the third-man region, to leave the viewers in awe at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium – the venue where he first shot into limelight as a teenager in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Aakash Chopra, the former India opener, on Wednesday dissected Sarfaraz’s unique technique of getting big runs in the longer format. “The way Sarfaraz plays is very different. Usually, we talk about going behind the ball and when you go behind the ball, you tend to play more towards the front.”
