In a thrilling encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the IPL 2025, Yashasvi Jaiswal of the Rajasthan Royals executed a breathtaking catch to dismiss Rashid Khan of the Gujarat Titans, stealing the spotlight in their high-stakes clash.
As Gujarat Titans aimed to finish their innings on a high note, Rashid Khan, who had already hit a six and a four in his brief four-ball stint, attempted a daring ‘no-look’ flick off the last ball of the 19th over bowled by Tushar Deshpande. However, Jaiswal, positioned at backward square leg, had other plans. With agility and precision, the young star dived full-stretch to his right, snatching the ball just inches from the ground to end Rashid’s cameo at 12 runs. The crowd erupted in applause, celebrating one of the season’s most sensational catches.
This acrobatic effort not only cut short what could have been a game-changing final flourish for the Titans but was immediately hailed as one of the best catches of the IPL 2025 season. The catch was a pivotal moment, shifting the momentum in favor of the Royals.
Earlier in the match, Sai Sudharsan anchored the Gujarat innings with a sublime 82 off 53 balls, supported by contributions from Jos Buttler (36) and Shahrukh Khan (36). Rahul Tewatia‘s late unbeaten knock of 24 off 12 balls propelled the Titans to a formidable total of 217/6 after being put in to bat.
