Touching video of Sarfaraz Khan consoling emotional father, wife after Test debut all over internet
Rajkot: Ahead of the India vs England third Test at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, an emotional and heartwarming moment unfolded as Sarfaraz Khan received his Test cap from legendary cricketer Anil Kumble. The scenes were poignant as Sarfaraz's father, Naushad, standing on the sidelines, couldn't contain his emotions.
Kumble, accompanied by the Indian team, handed the Test cap to Sarfaraz, who, in an emotional exchange, immediately ran towards his father. With tears streaming down Naushad's cheeks, he accepted the cap from his son, kissing the badge on it. The touching moment was a culmination of a dream nurtured by the father and fulfilled by the son through years of dedication and outstanding performances.
Sarfaraz wiped away tears from his father's face and shared a heartfelt hug, creating a scene that resonated with cricket fans globally.
Sarfaraz's journey to the Test arena was marked by remarkable performances in three outstanding Ranji Trophy seasons, where he consistently scored centuries and even challenged Don Bradman's first-class average for a brief period. Despite his stellar domestic record, he was initially overlooked for national selection.
The turning point came when KL Rahul's injury paved the way for Sarfaraz's maiden call-up as a replacement for the third Test against England. Slotted to bat at No.5, a position he has dominated in first-class cricket for Mumbai, Sarfaraz finally made his Test debut.
While the emotional exchange with his father added a personal touch to the debut, Sarfaraz's performance on the field will be keenly watched as he aims to make his mark in international cricket.
In addition to Sarfaraz, another debutant for India in the third Test was Dhruv Jurel, who took over wicketkeeping duties from KS Bharat. The Indian XI also witnessed changes in the bowling department, with Ravindra Jadeja returning in place of Axar Patel, and Mohammed Siraj replacing Mukesh Kumar in the pace bowling attack.
As the video of Sarfaraz consoling his crying father circulates on the internet, fans are eagerly awaiting his performance in the prestigious Test format.
A dream of every father that his son succeed in life.

Armed man shot and killed after entering secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, US Secret Service says
Washington (AP): The US Secret Service announced Sunday that an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Although Trump often spends weekends at his resort, he was at the White House during this incident. First lady Melania Trump was also with the president.
The name of the person who was shot has not been released. According to the Secret Service, he was “observed by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.” The incident took place at 1:30 am Sunday.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw, speaking at a brief press conference, said the man was confronted by two Secret Service agents and a sheriff's deputy.
“He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with them. At which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position," Bradshaw said. The two agents and the deputy "fired their weapons to neutralize the threat.”
The FBI asked residents who live near Mar-a-Lago to check any security cameras they may have for footage that could help investigators.
The suspect, who was in his early 20s and from North Carolina, was reported missing a few days ago by his family. Investigators believe he left North Carolina and headed south, picking up a shotgun along the way, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, who added that the box for the gun was recovered in his vehicle.
Guglielmi said that the man drove through the north gate of Mar-a-Lago as another vehicle was exiting.
Investigators are working to compile a psychological profile and a motive is still under investigation. Asked whether the individual was known to law enforcement, Bradshaw said “not right now.”
The incident comes as the US has been rocked multiple times in recent years by political violence. Just last year, that included the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the assassination of the Democratic leader in the Minnesota state House and her husband and the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife, and an arson attack at the official residence of Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro.
The incursion on Saturday at Trump's Florida home is a few miles from his West Palm Beach golf club where a man tried to assassinate Trump while he played golf during the 2024 election. A Secret Service agent spotted that man, Ryan Routh, aiming a rifle through the shrubbery before Trump came into view. Officials said Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire and caused Routh to drop his weapon.
Routh was found guilty last year and sentenced this month to life in prison.
Trump also survived an assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally in 2024. That gunman fired eight shots before being killed by a Secret Service counter sniper.
The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on Sunday.
