The cool moment involving Irfan Pathan happened in the 20th over of the Manipal Tigers’ innings, when Thisara Perera was taking the strike against Chris Barnwell.

Watch Irfan Pathan's surprising reaction after taking impressive catch in LLC:
Upon realising that the catch was complete, Irfan Pathan was quite nonchalant in his ways, putting the ball in his right pocket before he gave it to the umpire with a massive grin on his face. Known for his quality all-round skills during his time in international cricket, the surprising reaction from the 39-year-old told everyone how chuffed he was about taking that impressive catch.
Notably, Chadwick Walton scored 104 off 55 with nine fours and six maximums to help Manipal Tigers reach a commanding total of 211/3 in their allotted 20 overs. In the run chase, no batter from Bhilwara Kings managed to cross the 30 run mark, with Imran Khan picking up three wickets for the opposition.
