The dismissal occurred on the fifth delivery of the third over.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are currently facing each other in Match 32 of the IPL 2026 season at Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Invited to bat first, the Royals got off to a terrible start, losing their top three with just 32 runs on the board. While LSG bowlers were firing on all cylinders, fielders were ably supporting them.
One great piece of fielding was witnessed when skipper Rishabh Pant plucked a one-handed stunner behind the stumps to get rid of the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal for 22 off 12 balls.
On the fifth delivery of the third over, Mohammad Shami delivered a sharp bouncer from over the wicket, forcing Jaiswal into a hook shot. However, the extra bounce took the glove and Pant flew to his right to take an airborne catch.
Here’s the video:
Shami then produced a beauty to remove Dhruv Jurel for a golden duck, caught by wicketkeeper Pant again, although an easy grab on this occasion.
Subsequently, Mohsin Khan dismissed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Shimron Hetmyer while Prince Yadav bagged the wicket of Riyan Parag as RR found themselves reeling at 77/5 in the 11th over.
