He is yet to touch 16 years of age but he is already creating ripples. Mumbai's Sarfaraz Khan played a superlative knock of 101 off just 66 balls to enable India U- 19 register victory over South Africa U - 19 today in a U-19 Limited Over Match at Vishakhapatnam. Sarfaraz had also scored a solid 50 in the first match. Some of you might remember it was this lad - Sarfaraz, who hit the limelight a few years ago when he scored 439 in a Harris Shield match. He received an autographed bat and a pair of gloves from his idol - Sachin Tendulkar.
Not only with bat, Sarfaraz is good with his off-spins too.
Sarfaraz's younger brother (just 8 year of age) Musheer Khan recently became the youngest bowler in the history of Kanga League to claim a 5 wicket haul with his left arm spins. Musheer also broke the record of youngest debutant in the Kanga League History, breaking earlier record set by his elder brother Sarfaraz (debut at the age of 10 years in 2007).
And Musheer's prized possession - a ball autographed by the man who was instrumental in India's World Cup 2011 victory - Yuvraj Singh. With this ball Musheer had got Yuvi stumped out in a practice match.
The brothers have already find a place in Wisden Cricketer's Almanack. Hope to listen more and more about these two brothers in future.
