Sarfaraz Khan, who has shown strong performance in the Indian domestic circuit for Mumbai, finally got his much-deserved debut Test cap against England in the 3rd T20I at Rajkot. Sarfaraz also shared the picture of his new Test jersey with number 97 on his Instagram story. Sarfaraz and his brother Musheer both wear the jersey number 97.  The reason behind it is to give tribute to their father Naushad Khan, who is a cricket coach and trained them from their childhood. The jersey number 97 has the digits 9, which is spelled 'Nau' in Hindi and 7, which is spelled 'Sat' in Hindi, together make the word Naushad which is their father's name. Anil Kumble, Dinesh Karthik Hand India Caps to Debutants Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel During IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2024 Day 1 (Watch Video).
