“Golden duck from justice boy” - Fans brutally roast Sarfaraz Khan after failure against GT

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Sarfaraz Khan failed to deliver with the bat against Gujarat Titans (GT) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Fans were frustrated as the Chennai Super Kings middle-order batter could not score in the match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, April 26.

GT skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision proved fruitful for the visiting team as they picked up three wickets inside the first five overs during the afternoon game. Kagiso Rabada dismantled the Super Kings’ top order with two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj bagged one scalp.

Sarfaraz Khan Falls for Golden Duck as Impact Sub Move Backfires for CSK

CSK brought in Sarfaraz Khan as an Impact Player after losing two early wickets, replacing Urvil Patel, who lasted just 3 deliveries. This marked the second time this season that CSK used their Impact Sub option within the first four overs, after a similar move against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati.

However, the move did not work as planned. Sarfaraz Khan was dismissed for a golden duck on his very first ball. Mohammed Siraj bowled a short cross-seam delivery, and Sarfaraz attempted a pull shot. The ball took a top edge and went high in the air, and Jos Buttler completed a comfortable catch.

CSK’s troubles deepened quickly as they lost three wickets within just 8 deliveries. On a lively Chepauk pitch offering pace and bounce, Siraj and Rabada dominated the powerplay, reducing the home side to 28/3 and putting them under early pressure.

Sarfaraz Khan is part of the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026 after being signed for ₹75 lakhs. He has scored 161 runs in 7 matches at an average of 26.83, with a strike rate of 169.47. His best performance came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where he scored 50 off 25 balls.

He started the season well with strong contributions, including 32 off 12 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and 50 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He also played useful knocks of 25 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and 23 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), along with an 8-ball 14 against Mumbai Indians.

Khan has shown impact in the field with notable catches, including a diving effort and a “Superman” catch earlier in the season. However, his recent form has dipped. He registered a golden duck against the Gujarat Titans.
