India vs England 3rd Test is currently underway. The Men in Blue after electing to bat first lost early wickets. But a solid 204-run partnership from captain Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja helped India go past the 300-run mark. Debutant Sarfaraz Khan who played a ligtining innings of 62 runs off 66 balls the batter was unfortunately run-out from a miscommunication from Ravindra Jadeja who was then batting on 99. The touch he was in the batter could have got on to score a hundred with the controlled aggression he showed in his batting.
Rohit Sharma was seen throwing his cap and was furious with the incident. After the end of Day 1's game, he spoke to his younger brother Musheer Khan on the phone. The latter was part of the U-19 World Cup squad that lost the final against Australia. The batter was the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament as he smashed two hundred during the mega event.
The elder brother was surprised after Musheer called him after the end of Day 1. Sarfaraz asked him about his knock, to which Musheer replied, "Ek number bhai." He praised Sarfaraz's performance against England and highlighted the moment he became scared when his elder failed to connect Joe Root's ball cleanly.

It was nice to talk to him: Sarfaraz Khan
Sarfaraz wished to see his brother playing for India in the future. “He was my younger brother Musheer and it was nice to talk to him. Half of my family is over here, and the rest of the members are in Mumbai. Whenever I struggle, I look at his batting,” Sarfaraz Khan said on Indian Cricket Board TV.
There were two centurions with Rohit getting his 11th hundred and Jaddu scoring his 4th and the latter also completing 3000 runs in the longest format of the game. The home side is eyeing for a 400-run mark and winning the 3rd Test to take the lead on the 5-match series.
