Sarfaraz Khan pulled off an acrobatic catch and then followed it with a celebration that has gone viral on Day 3 of the fourth Test match between India and England in Ranchi on Sunday. During England's second innings, Tom Hartley decided to attack Kuldeep Yadav and he slammed a delivery straight towards deep mid-on. The connection was not that great and Sarfaraz had to dive forward and complete a challenging catch. The youngster was extremely pleased with his effort and after completing the tough catch, he turned towards the crowd and blew a kiss in the air.
Dhruv Jurel's 90 and a five-wicket haul by Ravichandran Ashwin put India back in the fourth Test against England on Sunday's day three, as they chase 192 for a series win.
India reached 40-0 at stumps, needing another 152 in Ranchi to win their third straight match and the five-Test series.
