NEW DELHI: Yashasvi Jaiswal pulled off a jaw-dropping catch to dismiss Rashid Khan and steal the spotlight during Rajasthan Royals’ clash against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday.
With Gujarat looking to finish strong, Rashid Khan had already smashed a six and a four in his brief four-ball stay when he attempted a cheeky ‘no-look’ flick off Tushar Deshpande on the final ball of the 19th over.

However, Jaiswal had other plans. Positioned at backward square leg, the youngster flew full-stretch to his right and completed a sensational catch just inches from the turf — ending Rashid’s cameo at 12 and earning widespread applause.

The acrobatic effort cut short what could’ve been a game-changing final flourish for GT and was immediately hailed as one of the best catches of the season.
Earlier in the match, Sai Sudharsan held the Gujarat innings together with a sublime 82 off 53 balls, supported by Jos Buttler (36) and Shahrukh Khan (36). Rahul Tewatia’s late unbeaten 24 off 12 pushed the Titans to a formidable 217/6 after being put in to bat.
