Cricket News: Sarfaraz Khan showcased his impressive form with a rapid century for India A against the Indian Test squad in a warm-up match, scoring 101 off 76 ball

Sarfaraz Khan displayed his exceptional form by scoring a quick century for India A against the Indian Test squad in a warm-up match, hitting 101 runs off 76 balls. On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah had a quiet outing, failing to take any wickets in his seven-over spell.

India A finished Day 2 at 299/6 in response to India's 459, with Ishan Kishan batting on 45 and Shardul Thakur on 19. The highlight of the day was Sarfaraz's explosive century, including 15 boundaries and two sixes. He was retired out to give others a chance to bat, but his impact was undeniable.

Sarfaraz's recent century further solidifies his reputation in English conditions, following his impressive 92 against England Lions. This performance comes ahead of India's upcoming Test series against England, starting on June 20.

Earlier in the innings, India A lost Ruturaj Gaikwad for a duck, but Abhimanyu Easwaran and Sai Sudharsan provided some stability with their contributions. Among the bowlers, Siraj and Prasidh Krishna stood out with their performances, while Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh struggled to make an impact.

India's batting on Day 1 was led by half-centuries from Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, setting a strong foundation for the team as they prepare for the upcoming Test series against England.
