Sarfaraz Khan: In the IPL 2026 auction, Chennai Super Kings also placed bets on those players whom no one placed. CSK showered money on many young players and added them, while CSK bought some players cheaply and made them a part of the team. One of those players is wreaking havoc with the bat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. We are talking about Sarfaraz Khan.
Sarfaraz Khan remained unsold in the first set in the mega auction of IPL 2026. No team showed interest in him, after which it seemed that Sarfaraz Khan would remain unsold this season too, but then in the second set, Chennai Super Kings bet on Sarfaraz and made him a part of their team for just Rs 75 lakh. CSK will be very happy to buy this player, because Sarfaraz Khan is making a lot of noise with the bat at the moment.
Sarfaraz Khan scored a brilliant century while playing for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on 31 December. He completed his century in 56 balls. This is the fastest century for Mumbai in List A cricket. He has broken the record of Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma had scored a century against Sikkim in the first match of this season and he completed his century in 62 balls. While Sarfaraz completed his century in 56 balls.
In this match, Sarfaraz Khan played an inning of 157 runs in 75 balls. During this period, 9 fours and 14 sixes came from his bat. Now if Sarfaraz Khan continues his form, he can prove to be an important player for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026.
