India Star Confident: Domestic Trophy Loading?

Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz Khan brushed aside concerns about his recent low scores. He pointed to his strong record and stressed team unity ahead of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy match against Pondicherry at Wankhede Stadium.

Focus on long term consistency

Sarfaraz said milestones like a 1,000 run season are only part of a bigger journey. He reminded everyone to judge him by four years of steady performances, not by a few quiet games. He added that every batter faces phases where good balls or small errors lead to dismissals.

Calm response to recent form

When asked about frustration, he stayed composed. He said he has scored heavily over the last four to five years and a short stretch of low runs does not bother him. He added that there is no need for technical changes and that he simply continues to practise hard.

A united Mumbai squad

Sarfaraz spoke warmly about the team environment after returning from India duty. He said the Mumbai squad stays together, trains together and shares a strong bond. Staying in the same hotel, even while playing in their home city, keeps the group focused and close.

Praise for captain Shardul Thakur

He credited Shardul Thakur for building a selfless culture. He said Shardul puts the Mumbai team above personal goals and leads with clarity and honesty. That attitude, he added, sets the tone for the dressing room and keeps everyone aligned.

Positive vibes ahead of Wankhede match

With Mumbai back at Wankhede after a long break, Sarfaraz said he feels good about the conditions. He praised the green surface and said the team is performing well. He believes their collective approach will carry them forward.
