‘Lost 17kgs in 2 months’: Sarfaraz Khan's shocking physical transformation stuns fans and selectors

One of India's most consistent red-ball performers, Sarfaraz Khan, has undergone a remarkable transformation, shedding 17 kgs in a determined push to silence critics who long questioned his fitness. Although he’s not part of the current Test squad for the England series, Sarfaraz continues to pile on domestic runs and now appears more focused than ever on securing his place in the national team.

Despite making his Test debut against England in February last year, Sarfaraz hasn’t yet cemented his spot. His exclusion from the England tour raised many eyebrows, with fans and former cricketers rallying behind him.


Sharing his dramatic weight loss journey with a picture from the gym, Sarfaraz revealed: “Lost 17 kgs,” prompting a wave of admiration for his dedication and grit.


Following his snub by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel, several former cricketers voiced support. Harbhajan Singh said, “It's very unfortunate... I was a bit shocked not seeing his name in the squad. I'm sure he will come back strong. He has got that will to make a comeback… All I can say is, don't be disheartened, you will get your due, if not today, then tomorrow… Look at Karun Nair.”

He added, “He scored 300 runs against England and then never got too many opportunities. Now he is back in England with the team.”

After a disappointing Australia tour, Sarfaraz reportedly lost backing from the team management. However, with this physical transformation and consistent domestic performance, he’s now sent a clear and strong message to selectors and stakeholders alike.
