Sarfraz Ahmed six catches in match world record

Sarfraz Ahmed’s record of taking six catches in an ODI match is indeed remarkable and places him in the company of some legendary wicketkeepers. Notably, he equaled the record held by Adam Gilchrist, an iconic Australian wicketkeeper, for the most dismissals in a single ODI match. Sarfraz’s feat occurred during a match against South Africa in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.

Here’s a summary of Sarfraz Ahmed’s six catches in that ODI match:

  1. Q de Kock dismissed by Muhammad Irfan for 0.
  2. du Plessis dismissed by Rahit Ali for 27.
  3. HM Amla dismissed by Wahab Riaz for 38.
  4. Steyn dismissed by Muhammad Irfan for 16.
  5. De Villiers dismissed by Sohail Khan for 77.
  6. Imran Tahir dismissed by Wahab Riaz for 0.

It’s a fantastic achievement for a wicketkeeper to achieve such a record in a single match. Sarfraz Ahmed’s remarkable performance not only equaled a long-standing record but also contributed significantly to Pakistan’s success in the match.
