Sarfaraz Khan took his time to celebrate his eighth first-class century, pulling out multiple poses for the camera. The swinging bat roar, the 'I'm there' pose, the conventional acknowledgement with the show of the bat and the Sidhu Moose Wala-style thigh slap.
"I did that in the 153 knock (quarterfinals) as well, but the cameraman turned the camera elsewhere," revealed Sarfaraz of his final pose. "So everyone told me the celebration didn't show up on TV. So I said 'koi baat nahi, phir aa jaayega' (no problem, it will come up again) ".
Such audacity. He is riding on a wave of confidence, and of a lot of runs.
He was his usual self on Wednesday. The usual runs, the usual laughter, the usual 'abbu' mention and the odd tear - quintessentially Bollywood; predictable yet gripping and entertaining, with his bat as much as his speech.
He yet again led his team's batting and bailed them out from a precarious position on a tricky surface in the final to help them to a formidable first innings score of 374, with a well-paced 134. The stuff of dreams, he said, of his teary century celebration.
"You all know the roller-coaster ride I've had, if not for my father, I wouldn't have been here," he said with a choke in his voice at the end of the second day's play
