Sarfaraz's journey has been full of challenges, from being asked to work on his attitude if he intends to be a part of the team to now helping his team India come out of a tricky spot; his hard work and patience make him an excellent inclusion in the team.

Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant combined forces and put together a brisk 177-run partnership fourth wicket stand. While that helped India breach the 400-run mark, the real takeaway was saving the team from an innings defeat.

Sarfaraz Khan's 150 Shines On Day 4

On Day 4, all eyes were on Sarfaraz Khan, whose valiant 150 had been the turning point for India. The 26-year-old Mumbai batter played a heroic innings to get his team out of a precarious situation and gave the fans something to remember in Bengaluru. His knock was his first Test century, but he also spoke about his ability to marshal himself against a good New Zealand bowling attack.

Following Sarfaraz's remarkable innings, which was a result of a strong partnership with Rishabh Pant, India comfortably crossed the 400-run mark. 

However, India set a target of 107 for New Zealand after losing quick wickets. The visitors started their innings with Tom Latham and Devon Conway on the field. However, rain interrupted play, and Day 4 was called off. 

At the time of writing, India had its first breakthrough on Day 5 with the help of Jasprit Bumrah. New Zealand is at 17/1.
