Rashid Khan and Manav Suthar's Comedy of Errors — CSK vs GT, IPL 2026

Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans

25 April 2026

In the 18th over of CSK's innings against Gujarat Titans, Kartik Sharma top-edged a pull off Kagiso Rabada that hung in the Chennai air for what felt like an eternity. Rashid Khan, sprinting from deep midwicket, and Manav Suthar, sprinting from deep square leg, both arrived at the same point at the same instant. Neither called. Neither took the catch. The ball landed between them as they collided gently and the broadcast feed cut to two grown international cricketers laughing at themselves on the outfield.
