After a failing performance with the bat, Sarfraz Ahmed, has upheld his reputation by setting a new wicket-keeping record during the final Test match against South Africa on Sunday.
Sarfraz Ahmed took 10 catches in the on-going Test match and surpassed Australia’s Adam Gilchrist and former Indian captain, MS Dhoni, to become the only wicket-keeper captain to reach this feat.
Additionally, the Pakistani skipper has also made another record; taking 5 catches in each innings of a Test match.
His 10 catches in a Test match is one better than the record previously shared by Kamran Akmal and Rashid Latif.
Here’s how the record-list currently stands:
| Total Catches | Wicket-Keeper Captain | Opposition | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Sarfraz Ahmed | South Africa | 2019 |
| 8 | Alex Stewart | South Africa | 1998 |
| 8 | Adam Gilchrist | Sri Lanka | 2004 |
| 8 | MS Dhoni | Australia | 2014 |
