Team India middle order batsman Sarfaraz Khan’s incredible ramp shot against England’s express fast bowler Mark Wood during the fifth and the final Test at Dharmashala on Friday has gone viral over various social media platforms.

It was one of the stunning strokes he played during his knock of 56 from just 60 balls with the help of eight fours and a six. Sarfaraz started off slowly, but then started unleashing himself, playing some unbelievable shots with great audacity.

It was the third delivery of the 76th over and Sarfaraz was in the mood after hitting Wood straight down the ground on the first delivery of the over. Mark Wood tried to bounce him out and bowled a short delivery. However, Sarfaraz was ready. He bent low, moved away from the line of the ball slightly and just ramped it towards the third man boundary line in the gap for a boundary.

However, Sarfaraz lost his wicket just after Tea but India are well ahead in the game. England need a miracle from here on to get back in this match.
