Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cricketer Sarfaraz Khan produced a brilliant moment in the field, taking a stunning catch to dismiss Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Naman Dhir during their IPL 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, May 2. The 28-year-old, who has also kept wickets in the past, moved swiftly to his left at extra cover and timed his jump perfectly, grabbing the ball with both hands while tumbling to the ground.
Dhir’s impressive knock came to an end at 57 off 37 deliveries, featuring three sixes and four fours. The wicket fell in the 17th over of MI’s innings. Having conceded a six on the previous ball, Jamie Overton responded smartly with a slower off-cutter that gripped the surface.
Dhir misjudged the change in pace, attempted to make room for a big shot, and ended up mistiming it straight towards extra cover, where Sarfaraz completed the catch. You can watch the video here:
