"The Controversial Gesture: Sarfaraz Khan's Finger Pointing After Scoring a Century - Selector or Fellow Player?"

Regarding Sarfaraz Khan's exclusion from the Indian Test team for the West Indies tour, there has been significant controversy and discussion surrounding the matter. Despite Sarfaraz Khan's impressive performance in first-class cricket, he was not selected for the Indian Test team.

A recent statement from a BCCI official shed light on the reasons behind Sarfaraz Khan's continuous omission. According to reports, Sarfaraz Khan's fitness and attitude were cited as the factors contributing to his exclusion from the Test team. However, individuals associated with the Mumbai Cricket Association have rejected these reasons put forth by the BCCI.


The incident in question revolves around Sarfaraz Khan not being included in the Indian Test team for the West Indies series. Following this decision, several veterans raised critical questions about the selection committee. 

A BCCI official recently claimed that Sarfaraz Khan's fitness and how he celebrated by showing his finger after scoring a century in a Ranji Trophy match were contributing factors to his exclusion from the Test team.

However, individuals closely associated with the Mumbai Cricket Association have refuted these claims. According to them, Sarfaraz Khan's celebration after scoring a century during the Ranji Trophy match was not directed towards BCCI's chief selector but rather intended for his teammates and coach, Amol Majumdar. 

They emphasized that coach Majumdar welcomed Sarfaraz Khan's achievement by taking off his cap, and it was Salil Ankola, not Chetan Sharma, who was present at the stadium during the match.

Furthermore, Sarfaraz Khan's close friend mentioned that while the celebration itself may have been questionable, it is important to note that Sarfaraz has a strong bond with coach Chandrakant Pandit, who treats him like a son. 

The friend stated that Chandu has always spoken positively about Sarfaraz, and their association spans 14 years. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Chandu would hold any negative sentiments or anger towards Sarfaraz.

In conclusion, there are conflicting perspectives regarding Sarfaraz Khan's exclusion from the Indian Test team, with individuals from the Mumbai Cricket Association disputing the reasons provided by the BCCI and asserting a positive relationship between Sarfaraz and his coach Chandrakant Pandit.
