1.Sarfaraz Khan(Cricket)

Sarfaraz Khan first burst onto the international scene as a 17-year-old at the 2014 ICC U19 Wold Cup and since then has gone from strength to strength.  He was purchased for a sum of 50 lakhs by the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the 2015 IPL auctions and made an immediate impact, smashing a 20-ball 45 against the Rajasthan Royals in only his second match.

He was one of the stars at the 2016 ICC Under-19 World Cup, where he made 355 runs in 6 matches, that included 5 half-centuries to finish as the second highest run-getter behind Jack Burnham of England. 

The right-hander once again showcased his skills in his IPL franchisee’s opening game of the 2016 season where he made a 20-ball 35 not out against the Sunrisers Hyderabad to help them reach an imposing total.

In recent times, several Under-19 players have made the transition into the senior squad and succeded. Sarfaraz too will hope to join that group soon.
