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.
