Sarfaraz Khan pulled off a stunning diving catch to end a 167-run partnership between Eshaan Goyal and Zubair Ali during Mumbai's Ranji Trophy match against Railways at Brabourne Stadium. Goyal attempted a sweep against Musheer Khan but got a top edge towards the leg side. Sarfaraz sprinted across from first slip and completed a full-length diving catch just before the ball touched the ground.
Sarfaraz's Catch Triggers Railways CollapseGoyal and Zubair had revived Railways' innings after the team slipped to 83/5. Their 167-run stand brought the visitors back into the contest, but Sarfaraz's catch gave Mumbai a crucial breakthrough.
Railways soon lost their remaining wickets and were bowled out for 265 in 77.2 overs. Shams Mulani took four wickets, while Musheer Khan claimed three.
Siddhesh Lad Praises Sarfaraz KhanMumbai captain Siddhesh Lad praised Sarfaraz's effort and revealed that the batter was determined to contribute after dropping an earlier catch.
What Sarfaraz did was outstanding. He's a special fielder. He had dropped a catch earlier, but wanted to do something for the team. It was an absolutely special effort," Lad told mid-day.
