**Mumbai, India:** Sarfaraz Khan etched his name in the annals of the Irani Cup, becoming the first ever Mumbai batsman to score a double century in the tournament’s history. The 26-year-old achieved this historic feat on Day 2 of the match against the Rest of India, reaching the milestone off just 253 balls.
His stellar innings, which included a century earlier in the day, helped Mumbai recover from a shaky start and eventually surpass the 500-run mark. This incredible performance comes as a testament to Khan’s exceptional skills and determination, as he achieved something even the legendary Indian cricketers could not during their time with Mumbai in the Irani Cup.
Mumbai resumed Day 2 at 237/4 and added a further 299 runs, losing only five wickets in the process. This dominance put immense pressure on the Rest of India, who now face a monumental task to upset the reigning Ranji Trophy champions.
Khan’s incredible knock is not just a personal milestone but a testament to his unwavering dedication and ability to rise to the occasion. With a score of 221 not out, he stands a chance to further break his own record and lead Mumbai to a resounding victory in the match.
