Interestingly, Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan have already shared the dressing room of the RCB in the league.

Meanwhile, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad also lauded Sarfaraz Khan for his impressive cameos in the ongoing IPL 2026. Gaikwad said in the post-match presentation ceremony: “Well, even I was surprised, to be honest. Great fight by Sarfaraz, Prashant Veer, and Jamie Overton, even to some extent Shivam Dube. So, I think maybe I would have contributed more at the top of the order; you never know, we would have chased it down. So definitely it's on me today.”
Chennai Super Kings bought Sarfaraz for just ₹75 lakh at the mini-auction, but he has become worth much more during the team’s tough phase in the ongoing IPL 2026. Even in the previous match against Punjab Kings, the Mumbai batter played a fiery cameo of 32 off only 12 balls.
