The Buchi Babu 2025 tournament organized by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) has started. The tournament will be played from August 18 to September 9, in which a total of 16 teams are participating. The teams have been divided into four groups. In the match held on the very first day, India's young star batsman Sarfaraz Khan caught everyone's attention with his dashing batting. Mumbai is facing TNCA XI in the match being played at Gozan College B Ground. In this match, Sarfaraz Khan came out to bat at number five. At that time Mumbai's score was 3 wickets for 98 runs, and the team looked under pressure. In such a situation, Sarfaraz handled the innings and scored a brilliant century. He completed 100 runs in just 92 balls, which included 9 fours and 3 sixes.
This innings was very special for Sarfaraz Khan. Recently he did not get a place in the Indian Test team for the England tour. After being dropped from the team, Sarfaraz worked a lot on his fitness and surprised everyone by losing about 17 kg in just one and a half months. Playing in a changed style, he proved that he is fully prepared on both fitness and form fronts.
Sarfaraz Khan's next target is now the home test series against the West Indies. His century can force the selectors to think once again. Sarfaraz's younger brother, Mushir Khan, is also a part of the Mumbai team in this tournament. However, he missed the opportunity to play a big innings in his first innings. Mushir scored 30 runs off 75 balls and, despite a good start, could not convert his innings into a big score.
