Sarfaraz Ashraf, Jharkhand Spinner, Takes Six Wickets Without Conceding A Run

Jharkhand spinner Sarfaraz Ashraf achieved an incredible feat of taking six wickets without conceding a single run, including a hat-trick, while playing for Young Pioneer CC against Mercara Youth Cricket Club in the Karnataka State Cricket Association’s T20.

Five of his six scalps came in five consecutive deliveries as his team thrashed the Mercara Youth Cricket Club by a whopping 107 runs. The 27-year-old also had a good game with the bat, scoring 40 runs to help Pioneers post a mammoth 264/4. In reply, the opposition were bundled out for just 57 in 14.3 overs.

Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, the china-man bowler shed some light on his bowling strategy. He said:

“I look to bowl aggressively to contain runs and I believe this gets me wickets. I bowl side-on like Malinga just to confuse the batsman. If a batsman is exploiting one area and getting all of his runs, I try to concentrate on one area which appears to be his weaker side.”

The left-arm spinner, who last played for Jharkhand in April 2015, also expressed his desire of playing in the cash-rich Indian Premier League and getting a call from the Indian team.

“I hope selectors see this performance and I get called for any Indian Premier League team,” he said.

“I’m also trying very hard to perform well and go from strength-to-strength. I want to break into the national team. I feel I perform well but am not falling into the selectors’ radar,” added Sarfaraz who has played 15 T20s for Jharkhand.

Here is the brief score of that match:

Young Pioneer CC: 264/4 in 20 overs (Sarfaraz Ashraf 40, Deepak 74, Kiran HB 70) beatt Mercara Youth CC: 57 all out in 14.3 overs (Madan 3-21, Sarfaraz Ashraf 6-0).
