The second Test will be played in Kanpur, starting from September 27.<br \/>The 26-year-old also had kind words for India\u2019s star batter and captain, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\">Rohit Sharma<\/a>, describing him as more than just a teammate.<br \/>Sarfaraz also showered praise on Rohit Sharma and said that the India skipper doesn&#8217;t treat anyone like a junior.<br \/>&#8220;He&#8217;s very different, makes you comfortable and is like an elder brother to us.
