Known for his quirky and innovative batting, Sarfaraz made his first-class debut in 2014 and was a part of the Indian Under-19 teams that played in the 2014 and 2016 World Cups.

Sarfaraz khan IPL career;
The youngest to feature in an IPL game, Sarfaraz Khan was roped in by Royal Challengers Bangalore at the 2015 auctions. He shot to fame with his unbeaten knock of 45 off 21 Rajasthan Royals. While walking back to the dressing room after playing that innings, RCB skipper Virat Kohli bowed in front of the 17-year-old β an unforgettable moment. Despite his cameos in 2016, he was dropped from the playing XI due to his lack of fitness. The following year, he missed the IPL as he suffered a leg injury. In a surprising move, RCB decided to retain him in 2018 ahead of Chris Gayle and KL Rahul, which raised plenty of eyebrows. Sarfarazβs performance was well below par and that forced the RCB management to release him ahead of the 2019 season
The pocket-sized dynamo was then snapped up by Kings XI Punjab to boost their lower-middle order. But his performances didnβt do justice to his ability and he saw his stocks dip drastically. From being retained for INR 4 crore by RCB in 2018, Sarfaraz found himself being picked up for his base price of INR 20 lakh by the Delhi Capitals in the 2023 IPL Auction.
