Young batting sensation Sarfaraz Khan stole the spotlight at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi, reflecting on his remarkable journey during the recent Test series against England.

Displaying his trademark wit, Sarfaraz couldn't help but joke about the surge in his Instagram following posts of his stellar performances on the field.

"I have between 600k and 700k Instagram followers over the past four years. After representing India, it has suddenly increased to 1.5 million. Sarfaraz said, expressing satisfaction with the rapid growth in his following on social media.

The Right-hand batter, who had eagerly awaited his chance in the national team, made an immediate impact with three consecutive fifties in India's triumphant 4-1 series win over England, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. His fearless cricket and consistent performances quickly endeared him to fans nationwide.

Known for his active presence on social media, Sarfaraz kept his followers engaged with behind-the-scenes glimpses from the camp and even shared memes crafted by his admirers during the Test series.

The emotional highlight of Sarfaraz's Test debut came as he presented his cap to his father Naushad Khan, accompanied by his wife, on the field in Rajkot.

His father visibly moved to tears and blessed him as Sarfaraz displayed composure, becoming only the third Indian batsman to notch twin fifties in his Test debut.

Sarfaraz's journey to the national side's starting line-up had been characterised by perseverance and determination. His maiden Test appearance not only brought joy to his family but also marked a turning point in his career as an Indian cricketer.

As the 26-year-old continues to make strides in international cricket, his rising fame on social media mirrors his growing stature in the sport.
