Sarfaraz wasn’t picked up by any franchise for the ongoing IPL edition. He planned his four-month break to work on his physique and transformed into a lean individual.
After the last Australian series, Sarfaraz came back home and had nothing to do, and he was also not picked up by any team in the IPL 2025.
“Kabhi acha hoga kabhi kaharab hoga aapko apna routine follow karna hai. (There will be good days and bad days—you have to stick to your routine,)" Sarfaraz stated.

Sarfaraz Khan was inspired by Virat Kohli
Sarfaraz Khan was inspired by Virat Kohli's fitness as he learnt many things from him in the IPL and also shared the dressing room with him in the Indian team. Sarfaraz followed the footprints of his idol Kohli.
(“You can see how quick Virat bhai’s footwork is, his energy is always high, and these are the things I have tried to follow. I watched him in the IPL and then in the Indian team, I got to learn a lot of things, and I thought it was a great opportunity for me to improve myself.")
The father-son duo changed their diet completely as they didn’t consume rice and flour, opting for a rich diet in vegetables and proteins.
Sarfaraz Khan left out of the India squad
Shubman Gill was named as the new skipper for the Indian Test team, and Rishabh Pant will be his deputy in red-ball cricket.
Karun Nair and Abhimanyu Easwaran have been chosen over him. Easwaran is also handed the captaincy of the India A squad. Nair is making his return to the Indian Test team after nearly nine years.
Khan scored 371 runs in six Test matches at an average of nearly 40. He played all his Test matches at home and was included in Border Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, but didn’t get a chance to play.
