As legendary cricketer Anil Kumble presented him with his Test cap, the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice became palpable. Tears flowed freely as Sarfaraz’s family watched him fulfill his dreams, a testament to their unwavering belief in his abilities.
A Moment of Redemption

Luckily his Father was present in the ground even though he himself from the Commentary Panel told the other Commentators that he did not want to come but Surya Kumar Yadav made him realize the importance of this event.
An Emotional Triumph
As Sarfaraz blew a kiss towards his family in the stands, the magnitude of the moment hung heavy in the air. His wife and father, overcome with emotion, could scarcely contain their tears. It was a culmination of years of sacrifice, dedication, and unwavering support.
