Discipline, Diet, And Dedication: Here's How Sarfaraz Khan Lost 17 Kgs
After being sidelined from India's tour of England, cricketer Sarfaraz Khan turned his setback into serious self-work, dropping 17 kilos in just a few months. The 27-year-old, known for his explosive domestic form, has long faced criticism for his fitness despite his cricketing potential. Now, his dramatic weight loss transformation is capturing attention far beyond the pitch.
Sarfaraz may have missed a place in the squad for the England Tests, but he's channelled that disappointment into redefining his relationship with health and fitness. His new, leaner look, shared via Instagram stories, has not only stunned fans but has also inspired a wave of appreciation for his discipline.
Take a look at Sarfaraz Khan's 17 Kgs weight loss picture here.
From Cheat Days to Clean Eating
Behind the scenes of this transformation is a carefully designed nutritional overhaul. In an interview earlier this year, Sarfaraz's father and coach, Naushad Khan, revealed the family's collective commitment to a cleaner diet.
'We stopped having roti, rice, sugar, flour, and anything bakery-related," Naushad shared in an earlier conversation with Hindustan Times. 'Our meals now include grilled fish, chicken, boiled eggs, fresh salads, broccoli, cucumber, and avocados. We've even switched to green tea and green coffee. It's been 1.5 months of this strict routine."
The shift wasn't temporary. It reflects a long-term vision to improve energy levels, muscle recovery, and overall well-being, all of which are crucial for elite performance.
Though his Test debut was delayed, Sarfaraz's commitment off the field could make all the difference moving forward. In modern cricket, fitness is no longer optional; it's as essential as form. And Sarfaraz seems to be ticking both boxes now.
About Sarfaraz Khan
Born in Mumbai in 1997, Sarfaraz first gained national attention during the U-19 World Cup and went on to become one of the most consistent run-scorers in the Ranji Trophy. A prolific talent in domestic cricket, he represents Mumbai and has made a mark with consistent performances over the years. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), he has played for franchises including Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

South Africa Choke Again, Fail To Score 7 Runs In Last Over Of Tri-Series Final
Matt Henry bowled the final over of the T20I Tri-series final in Harare on Saturday, and the 33-year-old pacer successfully managed to defend 7 runs to seal a famous win for NZ. South Africa needed 7 runs from six balls on Saturday (July 26) to win the T20I tri-series final against New Zealand in Harare, but they failed to score seven runs and went on to lose the match by three runs in a dramatic manner. At the end of 19 overs in the run chase, the South African team was cruising at 174/4, and the target was 181 runs. Just when everyone started thinking that the game was over for New Zealand, Mitchell Santner handed the ball to Matt Henry, and the 33-year-old fast bowler successfully managed to defend seven runs to secure a famous win for his team. On the first ball of the final over, he bowled a dot ball against dangerman Dewald Brevis and then on the second ball picked up his wicket. Brevis tried to play a big shot against Henry but was caught by Michael Bracewell near the boundary ropes. Brevis faced 16 balls and, with the help of one four and three sixes, scored 31 runs. On the third ball, Corbin Bosch also tried to play a big shot, but this time Bracewell failed to complete the difficult catch, and the South African all-rounder completed two runs to bring down the equation to 5 needed from 3 balls. On the fourth ball, Bosch ran one run to bring George Linde back on strike. On the fifth ball, when South Africa needed 4 runs to win from two balls, Linde tried to play a big shot down the ground, but Daryl Mitchell completed a super diving catch to stun South African fans. Linde's wicket on the penultimate ball of the run chase left South Africa needing a boundary on the last ball, but Senuran Muthusamy failed to score any runs. The clip of the final over by Henry was shared on X by FanCode, and within no time, the video went viral on the internet. Here's a look: Catches win matches, they said, very well said 👏The Proteas were knocking on the door of a win in the final, but the Kiwis snatched it from them courtesy some brilliant fielding 🏆 #NZvSA #T20ITriSeries — FanCode (@FanCode) July 26, 2025 Henry finished the match with figures of 2 for 19 in three overs, and for winning the match for Kiwis in the last over, he bagged the Player of the Match award. He also finished the T20I series with a total of 10 wickets in four matches, which was the most by any player, and it helped him bag the Player of the Series award. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 21:40 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Ben Stokes Becomes Third Cricketer After Garry Sobers & Jacques Kallis To...
Ben Stokes became only the third cricketer to complete 7000 runs and 200 wickets after Jacques Kallis and Gary Sobers. Ben Stokes has been the driving force for England in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Until Friday, he was just the highest wicket-taker of the Test series, but on Saturday, he also broke a two-year drought for a Test hundred. The English skipper launched a brutal assault against the Indian attack, smashing 141 runs with the help of 11 boundaries and 3 sixes. The knock came after a stunning 5-wicket haul in the first innings that sparked India's batting collapse. Thus Stokes became the fourth England cricketer to score a hundred and take five wickets in the same Test, joining the elite company of Tony Greig, Ian Botham — who achieved it five times — and Gus Atkinson. Double of 7000 runs and 200 wickets in Tests Garry Sobers (8032 runs & 235 wkts) Jacques Kallis (13289 runs & 292 wkts) Ben Stokes (7000* runs & 229 wkts)* Stokes' commanding 141 lifted England to 669 all out on Day 4 of the fourth Test, their fifth-highest Test score ever, giving them a formidable first-innings lead of 311 runs. The England skipper, who resumed on 77 not out, had thrilled the crowd with his trademark aggressive strokeplay. Despite not bowling between lunch and tea, a team spokesperson clarified he was fit, having already made an impact with the ball earlier by returning figures of 5-72 in India's first innings total of 358. This knock marked Stokes' first Test century since his exhilarating 155 against Australia at Lord's in June 2023. The 34-year-old celebrated his 14th century in 115 Tests emotionally, clenching his fist, looking skyward, and making a crooked finger gesture in memory of his late father Ged Stokes before acknowledging the crowd with a raised bat. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 21:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
