Indian cricketer Sarfaraz Khan has surprised everyone with his tremendous fitness transformation. By losing 17 kg in just two months, he has given a befitting reply to all those critics who used to question his fitness.
On Monday, July 21, Sarfaraz’s gym picture went viral like fire on social media.
From fans to cricket experts, everyone is praising his hard work and dedication.
What is the whole matter?
This Mumbai batsman has shown that if you are determined, anything is possible. Everyone is surprised to see Sarfaraz’s new look.
Earlier, questions were raised about his fitness, but now his hard work and discipline are being cited as an example.
Former England star Kevin Pietersen also could not stop himself and he tweeted a lot in praise of Sarfaraz.
Pietersen wrote in his X post,
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! 🚀
But the matter did not stop here. On this occasion, Pietersen also took a dig at Prithvi Shaw and said,
Can someone show Prithvi this please?
It can be done!
Strong body, strong mind!
What are Prithvi Shaw’s problems?
Prithvi Shaw, who was once considered India’s next superstar, is struggling with his form and fitness today. The 25-year-old opener was dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji team in the 2024/25 season.
He made a brief comeback in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but was dropped again in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He also remained unsold in the IPL 2025 auction.
Prithvi admitted in a recent interview that his love for food and bad company harmed his fitness and career.
Now he is going to leave Mumbai and start a new journey for Maharashtra.
Sarfaraz’s comeback
At the same time, Sarfaraz scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket and made his Test debut against England in 2024. He showed his brilliance with 371 runs, a century and three half-centuries in six Tests.
But after some poor performances, he was dropped from the Indian team for the England tour. Still, Sarfaraz did not give up and surprised everyone by working hard on his fitness.
For now, Pieterson’s message is clear, with hard work and focus like Sarfaraz, anyone can take their career to new heights.
