Key Highlights:
Rashid Khan stepped onto the field in classic fashion, bringing his signature aggression to the crease during Gujarat Titans’ clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Facing Tushar Deshpande in the penultimate over, Rashid smashed a six off the very first delivery and followed it with a boundary and a double. The intent was clear—attack from ball one.
Momentum Crashes on the Fourth Ball – Rashid Khan
Just as Rashid was gearing up for a game-changing cameo, Deshpande responded with a clever short-of-length delivery on the fourth ball of the 19th over. With no room to free his arms, Rashid attempted a cheeky no-look flick. The execution, however, didn’t go to plan.
Jaiswal’s Diving Grab Steals the Show
Positioned inside the circle at short fine leg, Yashasvi Jaiswal pulled off one of the finest catches of the season. Diving full stretch to his right, he plucked the ball just inches off the turf, cutting Rashid’s fireworks short at just 12 runs off 4 balls. The moment electrified the crowd and broke GT’s death-overs momentum.
Rashid’s Cameo Still Valuable
While Rashid’s stay was brief, his 12 off 4 balls provided a mini boost at the death. However, GT would’ve hoped for a longer impact from their all-rounder, given the launchpad set by Sai Sudharsan and Shahrukh Khan earlier.
