Sarfaraz said it was decided that they won't go for quick runs while batting with Pant but the excitement of getting to his maiden Test century got to him.

Sarfaraz Khan's first Test century and his 177-run stand with Rishabh Pant helped boost India's second innings total against New Zealand in Bengaluru. Sarfaraz scored 150 runs while Pant added 99, setting a target of 107 runs for New Zealand as India reached 462 runs.

Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant were involved in a major mix-up during the first session on Day 4 of the India vs New Zealand 1st Test. Sarfaraz animatedly denied a second run, jumping and yelling to not take a risk.
