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.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
