CSK Recruit Sarfaraz Khan Achieves Rare 'Elite Triple Crown' with Ranji Double Century
Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has delivered a timely reminder of his explosive form ahead of the IPL 2026 season, smashing an unbeaten 227 against Hyderabad in the Ranji Trophy. This monumental knock helped Mumbai declare at 500/6 and secured a rare 'Elite Triple Crown' for the season, having already registered a List A 150 and a T20 century earlier this year.
Sarfaraz's double century came off just 206 balls, featuring 19 fours and 9 sixes, demonstrating a blend of red-ball patience and white-ball aggression. His performance, achieved at a strike rate exceeding 103, highlights the versatility that made him a highly sought-after player in the IPL auction.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secured the in-form batter for his base price of ₹75 lakh, and his current run-scoring spree across all formats—including 468 runs in five Ranji games this season—provides a massive boost to the CSK camp as they prepare for the upcoming league.
