Sarfaraz Khan has gained spotlight after he showed remarkable transformation by losing 17 kgs in just two months. He has been on the sidelines and not been selected in the Indian Team for a very long time despite incredible performances. Sarfaraz Khan made his Test debut against England last year in Rajkot, where he hit 62 in first innings and 68 runs in the second. He made an incredible debut but still couldn’t manage to keep his place in the Indian Team.
Sarfaraz last played his Test match against New Zealand in November 2024 where he went for a duck in first innings and scored only a single in the second. Following this, he has shone brightly in domestic cricket, even smashing a century on India A’s tour of England just before the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

He even gained a lot of criticism for his weight, and now he has silenced all his critics by a commendable transformation. Sarfaraz Khan’s father Naushad spoke about his tough weight loss journey and explained how it was done.
“We have controlled our diet a lot. We have stopped eating roti, rice, etc. We haven’t eaten roti or rice at home for 1 to 1.5 months. We eat broccoli, carrot, cucumber, salad, and green vegetable salad. Along with that, we eat grilled fish, grilled chicken, boiled chicken, boiled egg, etc. We are also having green tea and green coffee,” Naushad told Hindustan Times.
“We eat avocados also. There are sprouts also. But the main thing is that we have stopped eating roti and rice. We have stopped eating sugar. We have stopped eating maida (flour) and bakery items.”
“He has almost lost 10 kgs within 1.5 months. He is working on reducing his weight even further. I have reduced 12 kgs myself because I had a knee issue. So, I also benefited from it. The doctor told me that I have to do a knee replacement. So, I told him that I had to delay it. He told me that I have to reduce my weight for that,” Naushad said.
Sarfaraz’s father mentioned that they only ate healthy vegetables and boiled food, completely cutting down carbs in the form of rice or chapati.
