Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar on Thursday heaped praise on young batsman Sarfaraz Khan for notching up an unbeaten triple hundred in their drawn Ranji Trophy game against Uttar Pradesh.
Sarfaraz, who returned to Mumbai after playing for UP, on Wednesday slammed 301 off 391 to help the 41-time Ranji Trophy champions overhaul UP's first innings total of 625/8 declared and grab three points.
"Fantastic, I think to score triple hundred in any kind of cricket is a great thing, a great achievement," Vengsarkar told reporters here.
"He (Sarfaraz) must have played extremely well. I didn't see the innings, because I wasn't in Mumbai that time. And to chase 600 runs, I think, I have seen that after a long time."
"That is what I had expected from Mumbai players. I am very happy. I am very proud of them (the team)."
