News summary

Sarfaraz Khan etched his name in cricket history by scoring a double century for Mumbai in the Irani Cup against Rest of India, becoming the first Mumbai batter to achieve this feat. At 26 years and 346 days old, he is also the fourth-youngest player to score a double ton in Irani Cup history, completing the milestone in just 253 balls with 23 fours and 3 sixes. His innings helped Mumbai surpass the 500-run mark and marked Sarfaraz's 15th first-class century. This performance follows his recent exclusion from the Indian Test squad for the Bangladesh series, making his comeback even more significant. Sarfaraz's achievement surpasses Ramnath Parkar's previous record of 195 runs set in 1972, further solidifying his reputation as a leading run-scorer. His stellar form has strengthened his case for a spot in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
