In the match against Punjab (played in Chandigarh), Sarfaraz came to the crease when his brother Musheer Khan was dismissed. At that time, Mumbai's score was 57/1 in 8.2 overs. The right-handed batsman made his intentions clear from the moment he stepped onto the field. He wasted no time and launched a fierce attack on the opposing captain, Abhishek Sharma, an assault he will likely never forget.
Sarfaraz scored 30 runs in Abhishek's very first over after coming to the crease. His explosive batting resulted in a flurry of boundaries all over the ground, and he completed his half-century in just 15 balls, breaking the five-year-old record.
