Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan, who made his debut in the third Test against England at Rajkot and was run out on 62 after a mix-up with all rounder Ravindra Jadeja, said that incidents of this kind were part of the game and miscommunication between batters happened in the game.
"It is a part of the game. Miscommunication happens in cricket. Sometimes run-out happens, sometimes you get the runs," Khan said at the press conference after the first day's play on Thursday.
The 26-year-old also revealed that he spoke to Jadeja at the lunch break on Thursday and requested him to constantly speak to him if the two batted together in the middle, later in the innings.
"I spoke to Jadeja at lunch time and requested him to talk to me while playing. I like talking while playing. It was my first time. I told him that when I go out to bat, keep talking to me while playing. He kept talking and supported me a lot while I was batting," he said.
The Mumbai batter looked on course to make a Test century in his debut innings on Thursday, but was run out on 62 at the non-striker's end by fast bowler Mark Wood.
Later, Jadeja took to Instagram and admitted that he was at fault for the dismissal and praised the right-hander for his innings on debut.
India ended the opening day of the third Test against England 326 for 5 with Jadeja unbeaten on 110.
