India’s rising cricket star Sarfaraz Khan is experiencing a week of joyous milestones. Just days after scoring his maiden Test century, Sarfaraz took to Instagram to announce the arrival of his baby boy. In heartfelt posts, he shared pictures of himself with the newborn, celebrating this new chapter in his life.
Sarfaraz, 27, expressed his excitement with a simple yet joyful message: “IT’S BABY BOY.” He married his wife, Romana Zahoor, in August 2023. Both Romana and Sarfaraz’s father were present during his much-anticipated Test debut earlier this year against England in Rajkot, a moment that showcased their strong family bond.
During the ongoing Test series against New Zealand, Sarfaraz has showcased his batting prowess. Initially benched for India’s series against Bangladesh, he returned to the lineup following an injury to fellow batsman Shubman Gill.

In a dramatic Test match against New Zealand, Sarfaraz’s skills were on full display as he scored 150 runs off 195 balls. His innings included 18 fours and 3 sixes, contributing significantly to India’s recovery after a shocking collapse that saw them dismissed for just 46 runs—their lowest ever at home. Sarfaraz’s performance helped turn the tide, leading to a competitive response from the team.
Sarfaraz’s rise in cricket is remarkable. He first gained attention through his performances with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL but struggled for a while to secure a place in first-class cricket. After a transformative stint with Uttar Pradesh, he returned to Mumbai cricket and excelled, amassing over 4,500 runs at an outstanding average of 69.27 in 52 matches.
As Sarfaraz reflects on his achievements, he describes his Test century as a “dream come true.” He stated, “Since I started playing cricket, it was my dream to play for India and score a 100 for India. I am happy.” This blend of personal and professional triumphs signifies an exciting future for the young cricketer and his family. With a promising career ahead, Sarfaraz Khan is undoubtedly one to watch in the world of cricket.
