After his powerful Test debut in the ongoing India-England series, Sarfaraz Khan’s recent performance in the test match of the series was a major setback for the cricketer.
In the ongoing second innings of the fourth Test, the 26-year-old prodigy faced harsh reality after he was departed with a golden duck to Shoaib Bashir’s hat-trick.

The dismissal came in the 38th over in which Khan attempted to negotiate a flighted delivery. The only thing he could manage to do was an inside edge onto the pad, resulting in a straightforward catch for Ollie Pope. While winning and losing are parts of the game, what infuriated netizens the most was Sarfaraz’s after his dismissal on Monday.
