Adil Rashid reminded everyone why he remains one of the most dangerous leg-spinners in white-ball cricket with a sensational delivery to clean up Sam Curran during Southern Brave’s The Hundred Men’s 2026 clash against MI London. Although Southern Brave eventually fell short in a nail-biting contest, Rashid’s wicket of Curran quickly became one of the standout moments of the match and was widely shared across social media.
The dismissal came at a crucial stage of MI London’s chase when Curran and Will Jacks had steadied the innings after an early collapse. With the visitors looking to take control, Rashid produced a moment of magic that briefly swung the momentum back in Southern Brave’s favour.
Adil Rashid castles Sam Curran with a beauty
Rashid struck on the 69th ball of the chase with a beautifully flighted leg-break that completely deceived Sam Curran. Slowing the ball through the air and giving it generous flight, the veteran spinner tempted Curran into an attacking stroke. The left-hander committed early to the shot but was beaten by the sharp turn as the ball sneaked through the gap and crashed into the stumps.
Curran departed after scoring a valuable 30 off 29 deliveries, an innings that included one four and one six. The breakthrough sparked celebrations among the Southern Brave players as Rashid once again showcased his ability to deliver under pressure.
