The ongoing Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 season has already delivered its fair share of spectacular moments, and none more so than Wanindu Hasaranga’s sensational one-handed catch to send Shadab Khan packing.
The Sri Lankan spin-bowling all-rounder, representing the Barbados Tridents, produced a moment of fielding brilliance against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, a highlight that has quickly gone viral across social media.
Wanindu Hasaranga’s Stunner in CPL 2026
The stunning dismissal occurred on the penultimate ball of the 17th over when Shadab Khan, who was enjoying a rapid cameo of 30 runs off just 12 balls for the Falcons, attempted to slice a Jason Holder off-cutter through the off-side. The ball flew high, but Hasaranga, covering significant ground and diving full-stretch to his left, plucked it out of the air with one hand. Despite this individual brilliance, Hasaranga’s Tridents ultimately fell short, with the Falcons clinching a three-wicket victory in a closely fought contest.
