Sarfaraz Khan does a Imran Tahir after Superman effort during CSK vs DC in IPL 2026 at Chepauk; watch viral video

Sarfaraz Khan produced a Superman effort to get rid of rival captain Axar Patel during Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) home game against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday at Chepauk. The incient took place on the first ball of the seven over, off the bowling of Gurjapneet Singh.

Bowling his first over in IPL, Gurjapneet banged short of length wide of the off stump, forcing Axar to go on the backfoot and slice really hard. Sarfaraz went full stretch to his right to grab the ball with both hands. Television replays showed that the Mumbai cricketer was airborne at the time of completing the catch. Gurjapneet struck with his first ball in IPL.

After completing the catch, Sarfaraz took off his cap and ran as far as he could to complete half the ground, just like Imran Tahir used to do during his playing days. Interestingly, Tahir had also played IPL for CSK. Axar walked back for just one run in two balls.
