Former English cricketer Kevin Pietersen has been impressed with Sarfaraz Khan’s physical transformation. Sarfaraz recently posted images to social media following a 17-kg weight loss in a few months.
Kevin Pietersen shared his photo of the young batsman-wicketkeeper along with a touching note. In order to restore his lost batting prowess, the former England player advised Prithvi Shaw to take the same actions.
Prithvi Shaw has also been a frequent target of criticism for failing to maintain the fitness required to compete as a professional cricketer. In addition to being ousted from Mumbai’s domestic teams and going unsold in the 2025 IPL auction, he has had a wild ride since losing his spot in the Indian squad.
Outstanding effort, young man! Huge congrats and I’m sure it’s going to lead to better and more consistent performances on the field. I love the time you’ve spent reorganising your priorities!
LFG! 🚀
Can someone show Prithvi this please?
It can be done!
Strong body, strong… https://t.co/U6KbUXlfVf
— Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) July 21, 2025Returning to Sarfaraz khan, his most recent match was against the England Lions, ahead of the ongoing five-match series between England and India. Even though he scored 92 runs in the game, he was not selected. In the home series against New Zealand last year, he last played for India in the red-ball format.
It is worth noting that Sarfaraz got his Test debut in England last year. He did not have a bad beginning in his international career because he scored three half-centuries in his first five innings in Test matches. He has not however established himself in the Test side yet.
