New Delhi .

Continuing his fine form, the Mumbai batsman scored 125 off 155 balls against Delhi on Tuesday, his third century of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season.
Quoting a tweet from BCCI Domestic’s Twitter handle, Prasad wrote, “Not only is Sarfaraz Khan being left out of the Test team despite 3 blockbuster domestic seasons, it is a disappointing decision for domestic cricket.” .
In the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, he has scored 1,910 runs in just 12 matches at an average of 136.42. The right-handed batsman has scored 928 runs in 6 matches in the 2019-20 season and 982 runs in the 2021-22 season at an average of 122.75.
