Sarfaraz Khan, the captain of Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs in the T20 Mumbai League, chose to avoid discussing his recent social media post that sparked speculation about his frustration with the selectors. Instead, he focused on his responsibility to perform on the field.
During the jersey launch event on Friday, Sarfaraz declined to comment on whether performances in the Indian Premier League now hold more weight in national selection. He emphasized the importance of consistent performance, stating that his job is to excel on the field regardless of where he is playing.
Having returned to the IPL after a two-year hiatus, Sarfaraz acknowledged that improving his strike rate was a major challenge. He worked on his fitness, fielding, and batting, resulting in a noticeable improvement in his performance. Despite this, he expressed his belief that there is always room for improvement in cricket.
Looking ahead to the upcoming T20 Mumbai matches, Sarfaraz aims to further showcase his skills and strengthen his case for national selection. However, he remains humble and focused on continuous learning and growth in the sport.
