'Sarfaraz Dominated English Spinners And Looked Assured', Says Anil Kumble On Debutant’s Innings
Match Centre Live: Legendary India leg-spinner Anil Kumble was left impressed with debutant batter Sarfaraz Khan’s innings of 62 on day one of third Test against England, saying the right-hander dominated the visitors’ spinners and gave an assured look at the crease.
Coming out to bat at number six, Sarfaraz played a sparkling knock of 62 off 66 balls, laced with nine fours and a maximum in his first Test innings. He showed maturity far beyond his years, with his sweeps, pulls and cuts along with manoeuvring the ball against the spinners making for a delightful sight.
“It never looked like it was his first Test innings. We all know about the talent he has and we have seen him dominate spin at the domestic level. But at the Test level, you need a completely different mindset and to have that approach and play that free-flowing innings was brilliant.
