Ruyel Miah had the last laugh against Sahibzada Farhan in Match 26 of the 2025-26 Bangladesh Premier League, where the Rajshahi Warriors faced off against the Sylhet Titans.

Sahibzada kicked off the fourth over with a big six off Ruyel's bowling. But things took a turn on the very next delivery. After playing a dot ball, the top-order batter cheekily flashed the ‘you can’t see me’ gesture. Ruyel, not one to back down, came back strong and dismissed him on the following ball.

The delivery was expertly angled across the batter, who could only manage to edge it to the short third man, where Salman Irshad made a straightforward catch. Ruyel celebrated his wicket by mimicking Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal’s iconic sitting-on-the-ground celebration. Sahibzada ended up with 14 runs off 12 balls.
