Rajkot, Feb 15: England assistant coach Paul Collingwood on Thursday heaped praise on debutant Sarfaraz Khan, whose aggressive 62 allowed India to score 326 for five on day one of the third Test.
Collingwood said Sarfaraz showed a “lot of courage to play like that” after the right-handed batter smashed his fifty off 48 balls, the joint fastest by an Indian on debut. “He came out and batted really well. We kept attacking fields to him. He likes to be a strokemaker and play his shots,” Collingwood told the media after stumps here.“I thought Ben (Stokes) wanted to keep attacking fields so we could create a chance. And fairplay to him (Sarfaraz), he had the courage to go over the top on a few occasions,” Collingwood added.
“He sweeps really well and put the bowlers under pressure.
On debut, it take as a lot of courage to come out and play like that. I guess from his point of view, it was a shame to get run out the way he did. You can see why he has got a pretty good first-class average – he looks a decent player,” he added. (PTI)
