‘I do not think I need to…’: Sarfaraz Khan’s SHOCKING response to criticism about his ongoing performance

India and Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan on Saturday said he isn’t “frustrated at all” about not scoring as heavily this season as he usually does in domestic cricket, adding that there is nothing he needs to change in his batting.

With his omission from Indian Test side in the background, Sarfaraz has endured a tough Ranji Trophy season so far, managing only 111 runs in four matches at 22.20 and without a single score of fifty.

The right-hander batter’s returns are indeed low for the lofty standards he has set in the Ranji Trophy in the seasons preceding his India Test call-up. He made 556 runs in 2022-23 season in six matches at 92.66, piled up as many as 982 runs in 2021-22 at 122.75 in six matches, and before that, Sarfaraz smacked 928 runs in the 2019-20 season in six matches at 154.66.

“I do not think I need to change anything because I am doing good. I have always played a lot of balls (in training) and even now I try to practice as much as I can,” Sarfaraz told the media during Mumbai’s training session here at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

“I do not think I need to change anything because I am doing good. I have always played a lot of balls and even now I try to practice as much as I can,” the right-handed batter said ahead of the clash against Pondicherry.

“One cannot score runs in every single match. The past four seasons well and sometimes a batter loses his wicket despite playing well. But we can always get back to scoring runs,” he said.
