Having won the toss and opting to bat first, the Sunrisers Hyderabad made an explosive start, amassing 54 runs in the powerplay despite losing Mayank Agarwal early.
However, the momentum shifted after the fielding restrictions were lifted, with the Gujarat Titans’ bowlers and fielders staging a remarkable comeback, highlighted by an exceptional catch from Rashid Khan.
In the 15th over, Aiden Markam sought to accelerate after facing difficulties in finding boundaries against the spinners and medium pacers.
Umesh Yadav delivered a back-of-length ball near the off-stump line, prompting the Proteas captain to attempt a lofted shot over long-on. However, Markam’s timing was off, and the ball landed in front of the long-on region.

Rashid Khan, positioned deep, charged in with a forward dive, executing a sensational catch. Despite briefly misjudging the trajectory, Rashid managed to clutch the ball awkwardly, completing the catch and leaving himself, Umesh, and the Twitter community in awe.
