‘Kaptaan, Leader, Legend’: Cricketers rejoice Sarfaraz's final-day ton

Pakistan cricket team players were all over the moon after Sarfaraz Ahmed scored a century on the final day of the second Test between Pakistan and New Zealand on Friday. 

The wicket-keeper batsman achieved the feat on his hometown after making a comeback to the national team with a gap of almost four years. It was his first hundred since 2014, and fourth overall. 

Pakistan required 319 at the start of the day five with two wickets down. Sarfaraz stayed determined throughout the day despite fall of wickets, steering Pakistan closer to victory. 

Following are the tweets from Sarfaraz’s former and current teammates celebrating his achievement.
