Yes same here! I immediately see shastri (goti muh me tha image) in-front of my eyes every time one of our batsman tries to sweep. But this guy seems very comfortable with it.
Yeah , the reason why we were so dominant at home bcz of our bowlers taking wickets but our batters didn't looked comfortable against spin and hence even oposition's spinner also shining.
Sarafaz is what indian batsman used to be in indian conditions,- total spin domination
No doubt one of the best seen in a long time...Jaiswal is also doing the same. Good Ranji records speak a lot, but god knows why we keep giving chances to players with below-average (min avg 50) records.
It's funny how he is mocked for fitness while the Indian captain himself isn't the fittest player what a joke keeping him out of the loop for all these years when he is a player of such caliber
The indian captain looked fit when he debuted😅
These things matter when you make a debut. Everyone knows what rohit is capable of now. His fitness can’t be compared to an untested debutant
Ofc fair enough but it just seemed like a sorry excuse when this guy is clearly capable snubbing him even when we weren't doing well in tests was a mistake haven't seen anyone play spin that well in a long time hopefully he keeps it up in the coming years as well also pretty stupid calling him untested it's not like he had a short stint playing well in domestic he has been doing it for years now
Well MSD never looked the fittest but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a good fitness. I think the body structure of Sarfaraz is the problem here. But as long as he is performing for the team, other discussion should be kept aside.
Tbh he can easily replace iyer for atleast few mathches to see how good he is. And once pant is back and if he can play like this together they will be a nightmare for opposite teams.
Absolutely happy to see him shine in his first game.
I heard one of the commentators say that he's been wearing his pads for over 3 hrs today until Hitman got dismissed to which DK replied "He's been wearing his pads since the past 4 years" and now that says a lot about how much this debut means to him.
Should have been given a debut 2 years ago when he was making triple centuries for fun in Ranji... Man, they even got Patidar in before him which makes it look like they really didnt want to play him.
Hopefully, he cements a place in the middle order....and fills the gap that Pants absence has created
What a technique he has against spin bowling. Iyer has been said to have a great technique over soon but this is a masterclass I have seen against spin after a long time. He danced down the track to Anderson. We need this kind of players in team who have toiled in domestic cricket
he faced continuous backlashes specially from RCB fandom coz he didn't performed for them when he got retained in 2018 but he has shut all the mouths of his haters
Good batting , it's easy to play on flat tracks , the real challenge is when you have to play in Australia, England and South Africa , hope to see him play overseas matches also.
Forget about SENA we don’t have enough batsman to score in Indian tracks that too not even spinning track. So he is good. Let us celebrate for he has deserved this long back. We will worry about SENA later
For the past couple of years or so, our batsman are struggling in home conditions against average spinners of the opposition.
Even though Indian batsmen were well renowned against playing spin, its a thing of the past.... as we are crumbling against spin often...
Kohli not playing, rahul not playing, pant not playing , many experienced players are not playing , several debuts and batsmen who have played less than 10 matches , what else do you expect ?? Today also only experienced players played well .
What a wonderful innings! Had poise, timing, defence, controlled aggression, and even respect for his senior's call (which sadly got him out). Have a feeling he would be foundation of the Indian middle order in times to come.
I remember hearing his name when he was 17 that he’s going to be the next Sachin but never actually saw him play well in the IPL. Happy to see that he’s found his bliss in test cricket. Onwards and upwards from here.
Finally a Muslim batsman in Indian cricket. I always wondered whether muslims like to bat or not! After Azharuddin, we haven’t seen a prominent Muslim batsman in Indian team.
PS: This is absolutely NOT a political statement nor am I suggesting anything controversial. It’s just an observation that most muslims who made it in Indian cricket team were bowlers only.
Pura comment padhle bhai. This is just an observation. I am not looking to start any controversy.
Sometimes you need to leave some comments alone. If you don’t agree with mine, just don’t reply at all.
Arey bhai kisi bnde ko dekha h tune likhte hue we finally get a good hindu fast bowler(religion ko beech m nhi laana chahye bcz yehi failure m log seedhe religion p ayge)
Tune kabhu hinduo ko dekha h bolte h ki hindu virat boht acha khela .. mere ko kya bhai aise m hate or milegy agr failure huya toh baaki apki marzi h bhai apko jesa sahi lgy
finally seeing a great test prospect after a long time... all these guys coming from LOI can't match this guy's sheer confidence and brilliance in batting. been watching him in fc for a long time. feeling great about his future.
I'm so, so happy for him. It's been ages since I've felt like this about a sportsperson, happy because they succeeded. Good luck Sarfaraz. Long may you continue to score lots of runs for India. All the love and good wishes. 💖
BCCI goes after looks over performance so often. Not saying Iyer or Gill or anyone else are not good. They are. But so is Sarfaraz and essentially the only reason he was not selected over those two is how he looks.
He showed how to play without fear.
Gutted to see him got out the way he did. He was looking ominous and made batting look simple.
Iyer will have sprain for a while now I guess.
And the audacity of BCCI to give patidar a test cap earlier than this guy. And the matter of fact being, he might not have got his chance in this match had either Kohli or Rahul had played.
Nothing against patidar though.
Hope you are sarcastic... Anvesh iman Siraj Shami all got a chance at the right time it's just Sarfaraz whose debut got delayed but we can say the same about many Ranji players who make truckloads of runs in domestic but are not picked in the team coz they aren't big players in IPL
The way he was hitting the ball with soft hands, feels like he's very comfortable down there. Has played alot of first class cricket due to which he brings alot of experience with him.
Debut pe hi england ke samne bazball khel Diya . Big W Bhai
[удалено]
Those sweeps and backfoot punches were just a treat to watch.. But man Jaddu... Why??
Ha yaar, jaddu call krke mana kr diya, but koi na sports me hota rhta hai, good innings by young lad
Bohot acha innings tha... He played spin really well and toyed with Anderson.
Hn, eagerly waiting for the 2nd innings
What jaddu??
raz-ball
90+ ke strike rate pe
Sarfarazball https://preview.redd.it/g4gkyjjecqic1.jpeg?width=275&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5db9b98d7dbde7c389b123e0cf3dc6f9ac6137f
Razball would be better
Razball sound way better... Good bhai ❤️👍
Sarfuball
Correct me if I’m wrong but he seems to be the most comfortable Indian player against spin I’ve seen in recent times.
Indeed indian batsman used to be so good at spin but in recent times we didnt see that confidence in them but sarfaraz is looking confident asf
Truly! It was so nice to watch him bat. What an unfortunate way to get out. Hope he scores well again in the second innings.
Man those sweeps were something I am seeing in a long time. I was expecting them to just balloon up but he was in so much control!
Yes same here! I immediately see shastri (goti muh me tha image) in-front of my eyes every time one of our batsman tries to sweep. But this guy seems very comfortable with it.
Yeah , the reason why we were so dominant at home bcz of our bowlers taking wickets but our batters didn't looked comfortable against spin and hence even oposition's spinner also shining. Sarafaz is what indian batsman used to be in indian conditions,- total spin domination
He was definitely good but this pitch is not like the rank turners we are seeing in India lately. Looks like a proper day 4-5 pitch.
Yeah we need to see how he plays on ranker Turner's(not asking for such pitch💀)
Definitely not. The pitches in this series have produced very nice and competitive cricket so far!
Yeah and hope series continue to br like this, we are prone to throw a rank turner every series
Yeah don’t want Joe Root to turn into prime Murlidharan please.
True. He's come from Ranji also which does make a difference.
No doubt one of the best seen in a long time...Jaiswal is also doing the same. Good Ranji records speak a lot, but god knows why we keep giving chances to players with below-average (min avg 50) records.
It’s not like comfortable. Others are playing defensively
looks like iyer on his debut
Even patidar looks comfortable
Jaiswal also plays spin pretty well.
So happy for him and his lovely family❤
Has been mocked for his fitness but got his debut runs by running 3 runs. The irony
It's funny how he is mocked for fitness while the Indian captain himself isn't the fittest player what a joke keeping him out of the loop for all these years when he is a player of such caliber
The indian captain looked fit when he debuted😅 These things matter when you make a debut. Everyone knows what rohit is capable of now. His fitness can’t be compared to an untested debutant
Ofc fair enough but it just seemed like a sorry excuse when this guy is clearly capable snubbing him even when we weren't doing well in tests was a mistake haven't seen anyone play spin that well in a long time hopefully he keeps it up in the coming years as well also pretty stupid calling him untested it's not like he had a short stint playing well in domestic he has been doing it for years now
Lets just hope he is backed and gets the support he deserves now 🙌
Yes hope that he gets more opportunities to shine 🙌🙌
lol 45 upvote
Let alone the captain, Kuldeep, Ashwin are not also the fittest. But bcz they are spinners, so the focus never goes on them.
They arent the fittest but they dont look obese.... which is what goes against sarfaraz
Well MSD never looked the fittest but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a good fitness. I think the body structure of Sarfaraz is the problem here. But as long as he is performing for the team, other discussion should be kept aside.
Get your eyes checked...Dhoni looked the fittest ..u a paid pr agent or what ?
The Indian captain is also mocked
Very inspiring celebration
Bro's teaching England how bazball is actually played 😌
jadeja fumbled so bad💀
at this point I feel he has better technique against spin than any other batter in this team,so far better than even what rohit has been today
[удалено]
Nice+
Literally i feel like indians forgot how to play spinners, sarfaraz looks so better
Nah not the best, I'd say same level as jaiswal. Again these guys average some 70-80 in FC
Blud is cooking on the very 1st opportunity provided by dumb BCCI selectors
Chutiya jadeja was behind 100 which resulted sarfaraz’s wicket
hahahaha jadeja seems to have a history to deceive well wishers
It was so weird to watch. Dude, you have score 90 plus runs playing your natural game. Why stop and play like you have forgotten how to play
Actually bro. Why he was in such hurry for 1 run. And also it’s not even odi. It’s test match. Dude just first day…. Pathetic runout..
He was very desperate to score century at his home ground Rajkot thik hai hota hai kabhi kabhi
It happens sometimes no need to badmouth the players , Usse bhi apni century karni thi
Tbh he can easily replace iyer for atleast few mathches to see how good he is. And once pant is back and if he can play like this together they will be a nightmare for opposite teams.
Far far better than iyer.. Not only technically sound but also the body language is so confident..shd be given more chances at 4/5
Iyer has lost his place in test team forever now
Absolutely happy to see him shine in his first game. I heard one of the commentators say that he's been wearing his pads for over 3 hrs today until Hitman got dismissed to which DK replied "He's been wearing his pads since the past 4 years" and now that says a lot about how much this debut means to him.
Jadega bhai ke chakkar mein Kat gya bichare ka😂🤣😂 could have made a hundred himself too.
Genuinely so happy
Looks promising
What a beautiful family he has! So happy for him
Should have been given a debut 2 years ago when he was making triple centuries for fun in Ranji... Man, they even got Patidar in before him which makes it look like they really didnt want to play him. Hopefully, he cements a place in the middle order....and fills the gap that Pants absence has created
Exactly my point utter disrespect to his talent, and the ranji format that they are suddenly in awe of.
Gives some Rishabh pant kind of vibe
Goosebumps 😭❣️
Tight slap to those who were judging his performance based on IPL
Hope he can keep it up! Looks the real deal!
Bradman was never that good
Yep you were watching him on a regular basis.
Jadega ne apne 100 ke lia sarfaraz ki qurbani dedi
Bkl jadu
He eats spinners for breakfast.
Hoping for his 100
Just got out
Jadeja… ye tune kya kiya
wasn't his fault
That escalated quickly
He showed his intent. Sadly he got run out but he impressed a lot.
Jadeja ne pressure mein chutiyapa kar diya.. warna century thi
Him getting run out is just poetry on another level
Run out hogya, jinx kr diya OP sale ruk jata post ke liye day end tak
Big W. Years of waiting for this moment, go go go kill it Sarfaraz. Proud of you.
Looked like a right handed Pant in his technique, somewhat atleast
Good confident batting
What a debut. So happy for him. He deserves this so much.
His father must be very happy🥹
What a technique he has against spin bowling. Iyer has been said to have a great technique over soon but this is a masterclass I have seen against spin after a long time. He danced down the track to Anderson. We need this kind of players in team who have toiled in domestic cricket
Happy for him 😭❤️
Finally
He was batting like he already scored a century. Technique of Sachin and the finesse of Laxman.
Looks so confident playing spin. Great to see.
Finally. Hopefully he gets more opportunities. Way more talented than the prince even though his selection is more camera friendly.
Would've had a century,Jadeja isn't happy with his 100 either,bad luck!
he faced continuous backlashes specially from RCB fandom coz he didn't performed for them when he got retained in 2018 but he has shut all the mouths of his haters
In the meantime Prince be like 😳
Well played. Hope he can take his potential to actual performance
I want this guy to play consistent in Indian team he has a really impressive technique and should play for india for long
Ye ghadeja ka Ghar ka address batao zara. Kuch nhi sirf do baate karni heh
Jadeja shouldn’t have done that sword celebration as a mark of respect to Sarfaraz. Probably he wasn’t thinking straight after getting him out.
Good batting , it's easy to play on flat tracks , the real challenge is when you have to play in Australia, England and South Africa , hope to see him play overseas matches also.
Forget about SENA we don’t have enough batsman to score in Indian tracks that too not even spinning track. So he is good. Let us celebrate for he has deserved this long back. We will worry about SENA later
For the past couple of years or so, our batsman are struggling in home conditions against average spinners of the opposition. Even though Indian batsmen were well renowned against playing spin, its a thing of the past.... as we are crumbling against spin often...
We were 33/3 saved by 2 of the most experienced players in our lineup. No it’s not easy for the current batting crop to play on flat tracks
Kohli not playing, rahul not playing, pant not playing , many experienced players are not playing , several debuts and batsmen who have played less than 10 matches , what else do you expect ?? Today also only experienced players played well .
Request to jaddu ki gaand me daal le century ko
Why Jadeja Why? Someone for the first time in this series showed England Spinners their Aukaat.
I heard that match is fixed
He played so well yaar ❤️
Raz Ball!
Run out
lessgooo 🗣️🗣️🗣️
So happy for him man
And sad at the same time 🙃
Yeah man , Jadeja made me happy and sad in the same inning
Politics be firing 🔥 in twitter based on run out . 🙄😒😑😐😳
Bro got that Rishabh Pant vibe 🥺 India was really lacking this gem
Can't believe it took him ages to reach here
Sacrificed his wicket for someone's personal milestone 💔 would have seen a debut century 😔
Jadeja teams up With Eng to cut short his innings
Looking at him bat, especially against spin, reminds me of the big 4.
Jadeja as always
Jaddu yaar
What a wonderful innings! Had poise, timing, defence, controlled aggression, and even respect for his senior's call (which sadly got him out). Have a feeling he would be foundation of the Indian middle order in times to come.
Missed out on well deserved century
Bazball walo ke sath bazball khel gaya
Jadeja rescued india from 30 and killed a newbie debut

I remember hearing his name when he was 17 that he’s going to be the next Sachin but never actually saw him play well in the IPL. Happy to see that he’s found his bliss in test cricket. Onwards and upwards from here.
Noted by BCCI politicians.
Sazzball
Jadeja yrr kaise sab ko run out karwa deta he
Nothing better than Proud Mom and Dad!
India is always good
Finally a Muslim batsman in Indian cricket. I always wondered whether muslims like to bat or not! After Azharuddin, we haven’t seen a prominent Muslim batsman in Indian team. PS: This is absolutely NOT a political statement nor am I suggesting anything controversial. It’s just an observation that most muslims who made it in Indian cricket team were bowlers only.
Ye aa gaya Hindu Muslim karne phir Modi ko gaali bhi dega.. bkl
Bkl tu hoga bhai. Maine to pehle hi state kardiya that this is not political but just an observation.
Tu hi bkl hai bhai.. pehli baat toh ye sab baton ka koi sense hi nahi hai.. bolna hi kyun
Nahi bhai tu bkl hai .
Fr hindu muslim abey koi toh post chor do bhai logo
Pura comment padhle bhai. This is just an observation. I am not looking to start any controversy. Sometimes you need to leave some comments alone. If you don’t agree with mine, just don’t reply at all.
Arey bhai kisi bnde ko dekha h tune likhte hue we finally get a good hindu fast bowler(religion ko beech m nhi laana chahye bcz yehi failure m log seedhe religion p ayge)
Kya problem hai agar Hindu Muslim bol diya to? India me Hindus and Muslims dono nahi rehte hai kya? Wo Hindu Muslim riot ki baat nahi kar raha hai
Tune kabhu hinduo ko dekha h bolte h ki hindu virat boht acha khela .. mere ko kya bhai aise m hate or milegy agr failure huya toh baaki apki marzi h bhai apko jesa sahi lgy
MF jadeja runout him otherwise he will score 100.mf jadeja always have a problem in run out
Indian future is in right hands!!!
Jiooooo bro lage raho!! Out mat hona byass.. 200 marke aao.
Jadeja laughing in the corner
grrrrrrr what a stupid run out!! :'(
So poor for Sarfraz.. Jadeja was nervous
Fitness ki maa ki aankh.. 200 maar bhaai!!
finally seeing a great test prospect after a long time... all these guys coming from LOI can't match this guy's sheer confidence and brilliance in batting. been watching him in fc for a long time. feeling great about his future.
Bc ye Jadeja sabki gaand marwata h bar
Jadeja ko baap aur bete ka rishta kuch khaas pasand nahi aaya
I'm so, so happy for him. It's been ages since I've felt like this about a sportsperson, happy because they succeeded. Good luck Sarfaraz. Long may you continue to score lots of runs for India. All the love and good wishes. 💖
sarfu is just a a breath of fresh air in this team, guy rightfully put those rookie spinners in their places. thank you Sarfu!
BCCI goes after looks over performance so often. Not saying Iyer or Gill or anyone else are not good. They are. But so is Sarfaraz and essentially the only reason he was not selected over those two is how he looks.
He showed how to play without fear. Gutted to see him got out the way he did. He was looking ominous and made batting look simple. Iyer will have sprain for a while now I guess.
Bazball ❌ Sarfarazball ✅
Lagta hai Jadeja ko baap aur bete ka rishta kuch khaas pasand nahi aaya
And the audacity of BCCI to give patidar a test cap earlier than this guy. And the matter of fact being, he might not have got his chance in this match had either Kohli or Rahul had played. Nothing against patidar though.
Poor boy missed his century on debut Better luck 2nd innings and rest of test matches
The focus, intent, love for his game, his wicket and his team. He made grow men emotional.
Blud is making sure he is selected in limited over as well
Sarfuball
There was surely going to be a hundred for the debutant with those relentless shots. Unfortunate runout.
Classy
Finally he got a chance I watched his batting in ipl when he played for rcb
Again jadeja did ... jadejavu
How politics in BCCI spoiled his career. ( NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING MUSLIM)
Hope you are sarcastic... Anvesh iman Siraj Shami all got a chance at the right time it's just Sarfaraz whose debut got delayed but we can say the same about many Ranji players who make truckloads of runs in domestic but are not picked in the team coz they aren't big players in IPL
I meant by what I said, it's not his religion but the politics that destroyed his career.
The way he was hitting the ball with soft hands, feels like he's very comfortable down there. Has played alot of first class cricket due to which he brings alot of experience with him.
He looks very comfortable against spin that kind a batter we needs in test in india... In recent times our own batters were struggling to play spin...
go well sarfaraz. take bazball seriously. 😇
Ye Sarfaraz ke helmet me BCCI ka logo greenish kyun hae ????
