Jaffer became the all-time appearance maker in the Ranji Trophy earlier this year, after playing in his 146th game against Saurashtra.

Jaffer is also the all-time run leader in the Ranji Trophy, having scored over 11,000 runs in the format.

Jaffer had a small stint with the national team in the early-2000s. He never nailed down a spot in ODI cricket, but was the Indian opener alongside Virender Sehwag in Tests. He scored double centuries against West Indies and Pakistan.
