Sarfaraz Khan's Cryptic Post After Sri Lanka Test Series Snub
Sarfaraz Khan is a cricket player who plays for India.
He is very good at cricket and scores a lot of runs in big matches.
But he has only played for India's top team six times.
He last played in November 2024.
Recently, he was not picked for India's team again, this time for a series against Sri Lanka.
He shared a picture on social media with a strong message: he may not fit in, but he will fight with everything he has.
The picture came from a movie called 'Jersey', which is about a cricketer.
Many people are now talking about why Sarfaraz keeps being left out.
He says he will keep giving his best no matter what.
Sarfaraz Khan posted a cryptic message on Friday captioned "I may not fit in, but I'll fight with everything I've got."
He was left out of India's Test team and seemingly is not in the running for a spot in the Sri Lanka Test series.
Sarfaraz last played a Test for India in November 2024 against New Zealand.
He has a first-class average of 64.73 in 62 matches but has played only six Tests for India.
His post included a photo from the 2019 Telugu film 'Jersey', and his last India assignment was the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour of Australia, which India lost 4-1.
