Finally, the years of hard work have paid off for the star Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan who earned his Test cap after a long wait and consecutive years of performing brilliantly in First-Class cricket. Naushad Khan, Sarfaraz’s father and coach, was also present there in Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium when his son was handed his Test cap by the former legendary Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble in the third Test of the five-match series against England.

Sarfaraz immediately ran to his father after getting his Test cap from Anil Kumble; his father could be seen in tears of joy when the 26-year-old was getting his cap. Furthermore, Naushad Khan also kissed Sarfaraz Khan’s cap and hugged him. A flow of emotions could be seen clearly in Rajkot as it was not only Sarfaraz’s hard work but also his father’s dedication and perseverance towards his son’s preparations for the highest level of the game.

Furthermore, Naushad Khan also came up with a very emotional speech, which was captured by the Indian Cricket Board’s social media team. The video of this emotional speech from Sarfaraz Khan’s father also started making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared over X (formerly Twitter).
