Sarfaraz Khan’s run out mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja in the third India vs England Test created quite a stir. Sarfaraz Khan was playing a fast-paced innings and seemed to be heading towards a big score when Ravindra Jadeja went terribly wrong. Safraz Khan had by then scored a half-century in 48 balls, the joint-fastest half-century by a Test debutant for post-independence India. However, just when it seemed that Sarfaraz Khan would score big, he was run out.

Now AB de Villiers has given his opinion on this issue. “Sarfaraz got out after scoring 60, unfortunately run out by Jaddu. Jaddu was definitely the guilty party in this case, but you could see the frustration in his body language when he scored 100 right after that. The way he celebrated was very quiet; he was very disappointed that he had run out that young player. It was great to see an experienced campaigner taking responsibility and showing almost remorse on the pitch,” De Villiers said in his said in statement youtube Channel. “Sarfaraz got out for 62, it was his first Test match.”

At the end of the day’s play, Sarfaraz Khan spoke openly about his dismissal.

“Sometimes misunderstandings happen and it’s part of the game. Sometimes you get run out. Things like this keep happening,” Sarfaraz Khan said in the post-match conference.

Sarfaraz Khan said that Ravindra Jadeja helped him throughout the innings. “I spoke to him at lunch. I am the kind of batsman who likes to talk about what is going on while I am batting. So, I told Jadeja to keep talking to me while I am batting. He supported and talked to me a lot today.” Me at lunch time,” Sarfaraz Khan said.

“He told me how debutants feel and how he felt as a debutant. I was a bit nervous, especially when I played my first sweep and missed. But he told me to take some time and It would be easy. I listened to him and tried to implement it.”

On what Jadeja said on the run out, Sarfaraz said, “He said there was a slight misunderstanding, but I said it was okay.”
