Talented batsman Sarfaraz Khan scripted his first international ton on Day 4 of the ongoing first Test of IND vs NZ.
The 26-year-old gave a pure testament to his batting prowess as he returned to form despite getting away in the first innings.
While Sarfaraz played a brilliant knock, it was his celebration after completing the century that stole the show. The dynamic right-hander took off his helmet, let out a roar and waved his bat, showing it to the locker room, the crowd and the sky. He then ran across the field with his arms raised in celebration.
The entire Indian dressing room stood on its feet to celebrate Sararaz’s century, but India captain Rohit Sharma, along with Virat Kohli and others, were later seen bursting into uncontrollable laughter after watching a replay of the celebration. Rohit even almost fell off his seat.

India writes a commendable comeback
The hosts have put up a resilient batting display to make amends for their dismal performance in the first innings, where they were bowled out for a paltry 46, the Indian team’s lowest total in home Tests.
The Kiwis managed to capitalize and posted 402 runs, establishing a huge lead of 356 runs.
However, the Indian batsmen showed great composure to put India back in the competition with some incredible batting.
One of the main architects of India’s comeback is Sarfaraz Khan, who apart from scoring a century also created a breakthrough 136-run partnership with Virat Kohli.
India have now reduced New Zealand’s lead to less than 100 and have a solid chance to pull off a win and stage one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the game.
