Ranji Trophy 2022 Final Mumbai vs MP: Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan is on a run-making spree. The 24-year-old cricketer slammed his 4th ton of the season vs Madhya Pradesh in the all-important Ranji Trophy 2022 Final on Thursday (June 23).  When he reached the landmark, the Mumbai batter was teary-eyed. He jumped in elation of his hundred and after that he did that iconic move by late Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, where he slaps his thigh and then points a finger upwards. It was an emotional moment for Sarfaraz who has been waiting in them wings for a long time despite scoring tons on run in domestic cricket. He came in to bat when Mumbai were in a decent position at 147/3. However, MO bowlers dominated the proceedings and run-scoring was not easy. Wickets continued to fall at one end but Sarfaraz held one innings together. As he neared his 100, he unleased his T20 mode. By lunch Mumbai had reached 351/8 and are in a much more comfortable position.
