Overview

  • Sarfaraz Khan shed 17kg over two months by cutting staples like roti, rice, sugar and bakery items and focusing on grilled proteins, salads and green tea.
  • He showcased his renewed form with a 76-ball 101 against India’s main attack in an intra-squad match at Beckenham for India A.
  • Longstanding fitness criticism that delayed his Test debut contributed to his omission from India’s England tour by the Ajit Agarkar-led committee.
  • Kevin Pietersen lauded his discipline and urged Prithvi Shaw to follow suit, while Harbhajan Singh predicted that Khan will return stronger.
  • The overhaul underscores the BCCI’s emphasis on conditioning and has strengthened Khan’s case as a contender for senior-team selection.
