Gavaskar took Sarfraz's class
Sunil Gavaskar said during the commentary of 'Jio Cinema', 'The ball was released after flight. So this was not a ball to hit aggressively in high spirits. But, trying to hit a big shot, he was caught by Root. If you are playing the first ball after the tee break, give yourself some timeffff to settle. Don Bradman told me that every ball I face I feel like I am at zero. Although I am on 200. And Sarfraz is playing such a shot on the very first ball of the session.
