Vijay Hazare Trophy: Before the big match, a big player of Mumbai has broken his finger. We are talking about Sarfaraz Khan, who had to miss the quarterfinal match against Karnataka due to a broken finger. The effect of Sarfaraz Khan being out due to injury is clearly visible on the team in the quarter-final match. He has had a bad start. Not only the start, the batting of the Mumbai team, which came to bat first against Karnataka, is seen to be wavering in the quarter-finals.
Sarfaraz Khan breaks his finger, out of the team
Now the question is when did Sarfaraz Khan get injured? This happened during batting practice in the nets. Before the quarter-finals, Sarfaraz was facing Sairaj Patil’s balls in the nets, when he injured his finger on one of the balls. The injury was so deep that its pain felt on the entire Mumbai team.
Scored 303 runs with 21 sixes before breaking his finger.
Before breaking his finger, Sarfaraz Khan had played 6 matches for Mumbai in the current season of Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the last match played against Punjab on the league stage, he scored a fifty in 15 balls, which is the fastest half-century scored by an Indian bat in List A. If we look at his entire performance in the current Vijay Hazare Trophy, Sarfaraz has scored 303 runs in 5 innings of 6 matches at a strike rate of 190.56. During this period he has hit 25 fours and 21 sixes.
Who got the chance in place of Sarfaraz Khan?
Now the question is that if Sarfaraz Khan is not in the Mumbai team in the quarter-finals of Vijay Hazare Trophy against Karnataka, then who is playing in his place? Opener Ishaan Moolchandani has been included in place of Sarfaraz in the Mumbai team. However, Moolchandani did not leave any mark. Facing 32 balls, Ishaan Moolchandani scored only 20 runs with the help of 2 fours.
