"You are just wasting time, bro. Don't be scared. Play," he urged. The exchange was captured on the stump microphone and quickly spread across social media, showcasing Sarfaraz's chirpy demeanor as a key highlight of the Test. Despite not being part of the playing XI, Sarfaraz made the most of his substitute role, bringing a spark of interest to the fielding duties.

Fielding at short leg and silly point demands constant focus, quick reflexes, and active participation in the game. Sarfaraz Khan, part-time fielder and full-time mind games player, kept the pressure on de Silva with his non-stop chatter and clever tactics.
