In cricket, some moments transcend the game itself, creating instant meme-worthy reactions that resonate with fans everywhere. During the recent CSK vs SRH clash in TATA IPL 2025, one such moment came courtesy of Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler Harshal Patel, whose stunned expression after witnessing a spectacular catch by teammate Kamindu Mendis has now gone viral.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captured this priceless moment and shared it on their social media account with the caption, “Harshal Bhai is all of us after that Kamindu screamer 🫣 #PlayWithFire | #CSKvSRH | #TATAIPL2025.” The image shows Patel with his hands on his face, covering his agape mouth in pure disbelief. This shot perfectly embodies the collective reaction of cricket fans witnessing Mendis’ extraordinary fielding effort.
The Spectacular Moment That Left Everyone Stunned
The match between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad was already intense when Sri Lankan all-rounder Kamindu Mendis pulled off what can only be described as a gravity-defying catch. The spectacular effort immediately sent shockwaves through the Chepauk Stadium and left his teammates, including Harshal Patel, completely awestruck.
In a previous post on their Instagram, Sunrisers Hyderabad paid tribute to Mendis’ incredible effort with a caption in Telugu that translates to “This bowling is like a love letter…” followed by “Kamindu Mendis | #PlayWithFire | #CSKvSRH | #TATAIPL2025.” The post highlighted Mendis’ growing importance to the SRH lineup as both a bowler and fielder.
The viral moment captured in Harshal Patel’s reaction represents more than just an amusing cricket highlight—it embodies the passion, surprise, and pure joy that make the IPL such a beloved tournament worldwide. As SRH continues their campaign in IPL 2025, moments like these remind fans why cricket is often called a religion in the subcontinent.
With their mix of international stars and emerging talents, Sunrisers Hyderabad remains one of the most watchable teams in the tournament, capable of producing spectacular cricket moments that leave even their own players—like Harshal Patel—completely speechless.
