Mumbai and India batter Sarfaraz Khan has been consistently piling up runs on the domestic circuit for several seasons now. A truckload of runs for Mumbai, India A, the Rest of India side in the Irani Cup and Duleep Trophy sides eventually translated in a maiden Test call-up for Sarfaraz earlier this year. On his Test debut against England in Rajkot, Sarfaraz smashed twin half-centuries and followed up with another fifty in the Dharamsala Test as India won the series 3-1.

After missing out on a spot in the recently concluded Test series against Bangladesh, Sarfaraz made a statement with a double hundred for Mumbai in the Irani Cup tie against ROI in Lucknow on Wednesday. Sarfaraz became the first Mumbai batter to record an Irani Cup double hundred.
