In a moment of sheer brilliance on the field, Gujarat Titans’ star all-rounder Rashid Khan delivered a highlight-worthy effort during the IPL 2025 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 2.
The electrifying incident occurred in the 5th over of the match, when SRH opener Travis Head, looking to accelerate the scoring, attempted a pull shot off Prasidh Krishna. The ball was directed towards deep square leg, where Rashid Khan was patrolling the boundary.
Demonstrating lightning-quick reflexes and outstanding athleticism, Rashid sprinted to his right, covering significant ground before diving sideways to complete a sensational running catch. The dismissal of Travis Head, who had scored 20 runs off 16 deliveries, proved to be a vital breakthrough for the Gujarat Titans early in the innings.
Rashid Khan's sensational catch added to his reputation as one of the most skilled fielders in the game. His contribution to Gujarat Titans' success extends beyond his bowling, and this catch will likely be remembered as one of the highlights of the match.
Gujarat Titans Trump Sunrisers Hyderabad By 38 Runs In High-Scoring Thriller At Ahmedabad
In a power-packed encounter at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat Titans outclassed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs on May 2, 2025, continuing their strong campaign in IPL 2025. A fiery opening partnership and clinical bowling helped the Titans secure a comprehensive win in front of a roaring home crowd.
Gujarat Titans posted a formidable total of 224/6 in 20 overs, riding on stellar knocks from their top-order batters. Skipper Shubman Gill led from the front, smashing a blistering 76 off 38 balls, laced with 10 boundaries and 2 sixes. He found excellent support in Jos Buttler, who played with flair and aggression, scoring 64 off 37 balls, which included 3 fours and 4 towering sixes.
In reply, Sunrisers Hyderabad could manage only 186/6 in 20 overs, falling short by 38 runs. Abhishek Sharma played a valiant knock at the top, hammering 74 off 41 balls with 4 boundaries and 6 sixes, keeping SRH in the hunt during the first half of the chase. However, the lack of substantial partnerships and disciplined bowling from GT derailed their momentum. Heinrich Klaasen added 23 off 18 balls, but the mounting required run rate proved too much for the SRH middle order to overcome.
