India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said while speaking via a a BCCI video, “We associate Sarfaraz Khan with hundreds, double, hundreds and triple hundreds. So I’m hoping at the end of the day we see the domestic Sarfaraz Khan being the beast in international cricket and get that triple hundred.”
Virat Kohli also had a chance to add another century with his name. But back to pavilion after played an 70 runs innings. On that Nayar said, “It’s always good to get Virat Kohli scoring runs again. Unfortunate to get out, you know, towards the last ball of the end of day’s play. But we are still positioned to try and get a big score and hopefully push this game to the final day.”
