Ravichandran Ashwin praised Sarfaraz Khan's exceptional domestic cricket form, particularly his 157 off 75 balls in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Ashwin suggested Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should include Khan in their playing XI for the upcoming IPL season, highlighting his consistent scoring across tournaments like the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Khan, who was bought by CSK for Rs 75 lakh after initially going unsold, expressed gratitude and vowed to help the team win the 2026 title.
