Sarfaraz took seven innings to reach the triple-figure mark. He brought up his hundred in 110 delive✨ries that included 13 fours and✤ 3 sixes.

Sarfaraz was roped in the playing XI after Shubman Gill su🎉ffered a stiff neck. The 26-yea♚r-old had made his Test debut earlier this year against England in Rajkot.

In the first innings, Sarfaraz was out for a duck but made a sensational comeback that included a century partnership with Virat Kohli for the third wicket before the latter was 𒉰dismis🎃sed on the final ball of day three.

Sarfaraz's hundre⛦d comes on the back of a double-hundred in the Irani Cup final for༺ Mumbai against Rest of India earlier this month. He has scored 15 centuries in First-Class cricket.
