MUMBAI: Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) young batsman Sarfaraz Khan, who soaked in all attention due to his aggressive batting, has found a new friend during this season.
It was a stint which not only got him the attention of the cricketing world thanks to his unbeaten cameos of 45 not out and 31, but also earned him a ‘best friend’ in West Indian superstar Chris Gayle.
Talking to Cricbuz, the teenager told that “He [Gayle] has even invited me to his wedding (in Jamaica) next month, but I don’t think I’ll be able to go,” he added. Besides Gayle, there were solid words of encouragement from AB de Villiers too.
“I told AB, ‘I want to become a big player.’ He told me: “I wasn’t half as good as you are at this age.’ He told me to keep batting the way I do. Don’t take much tension. You have very good skill, you’ll rise in life.”
