His brother was recently involved in a car accident.
A talented Indian batsman recently hit a brilliant double ton in the Iran Cup match between Mumbai and Rest of India.
Dynamic right-hander Sarfaraz Khan, who made headlines after becoming the first Mumbai cricketer to reach a double century in the Iran Cup, dedicated half of his knock to his injured brother.
Sarfaraz’s brother Musheer Khan, a big name in the domestic circuit, suffered a neck injury after being involved in a car accident. Musheer was also scheduled to participate in the match but was unfortunately ruled out due to the mishap.
Musheer was involved in an accident while traveling to Lucknow with his father and two others in a van. According to eyewitnesses and a member of the traffic department of Lucknow police, the vehicle hit a divider and overturned.
After the stellar knock, Sarfaraz Khan told reporters: “Yes, it has been an emotional week for me. “I had promised my family and teammates that if I was ready, I would score 200 – a hundred for me and a hundred for my brother (Musheer).”
Sarfaraz’s 222 runs helped Mumbai score a mammoth figure of 537 on day 3 of the match.
Sarfaraz Khan’s double ton will support his cause for India
Sarfaraz made his debut earlier this year during the five-match Test series against England and was part of the India team in the recently concluded Bangladesh Test series.
However, he did not get the opportunity to feature in the XI and the management released him to play in the Iran Cup.
