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 shared the mix-up incident between him and Rishabh Pant where the duo was involved in a near-miss run-out situation on Day 4 of the first Test against New Zealand.
