Debutant Sarfaraz Khan made an impressive start in Test cricket by slamming a brisk half-century during the first day of the 3rd Test against England in Rajkot. Khan, who replaced skipper Rohit Sharma, showcased his batting prowess by reaching his fifty in just 48 balls, adorned with 7 boundaries and 1 six. However, his innings was cut short at 62 due to a run-out confusion with Ravindra Jadeja. Earlier, Khan's emotional moment with his father, Naushad Khan, marked the occasion as he received his debut cap from former leg-spinner Anil Kumble. India's strong batting display, led by Rohit Sharma's century, propelled them to a commanding position in the match.
