Sarfaraz represented India in the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in 2014 and 2016. He is an aggressive right handed batsman and a part-time spinner.

When he made his IPL debut for the franchise RCB in the year 2015, He was the youngest player with only 17 years and 177 days old, to play an IPL match. And, in the very next season, he was the only uncapped player to be retained by a franchise in the IPL. Currently, he is the fourth-youngest player to play in the history of IPL. As a 15-year old in 2012, he was mentioned in to the prestigious Wisden Cricketers' Almanack along with his younger brother Musheer.

Early life and background
Sarfaraz was born and brought up in the suburbs of Mumbai. He spent most of his childhood in Azad Maidan. There Naushad Khan, his father and coach, nurtured young cricketers such as Iqbal Abdulla and Kamran Khan. His coaching began at an early age when his father discovered his talent of timing the ball well. In monsoon conditions it was difficult for him to reach the maidan (grounds) from his home in the suburbs, so a synthetic pitch was laid beside his house for practice. "Not only does it save our time and energy but it has also helped him get used to bouncier wickets that he will have to deal with later on," his father commented.

He was unable to attend school for 4 years due to his cricket commitments, so a private tutor was employed for his maths and English classes.
