Sarfaraz Khan, who was not picked for India’s ongoing Test series against England, has spent the last few months working on his body and mindset. After going unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction, he teamed up with his father — also his coach — and focused on fitness.
His efforts came after Karun Nair was preferred over him for the England tour, making a surprise comeback after eight years. But Sarfaraz didn’t let the setback break him. Instead, he trained harder and has now become a talking point for the right reasons.
“Outstanding effort, young man! Huge congrats, and I’m sure it’s going to lead to better and more consistent performances on the field. I love the time you’ve spent reorganising your priorities! LFG!” Pietersen wrote on X.
In the same post, Pietersen took a dig at Prithvi Shaw, who has been in the news for his lack of fitness and form. “Can someone show Prithvi this, please? It can be done! Strong body, strong mind!” he added.
