The IPL 2026 clash between the Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders at Narendra Modi Stadium witnessed a dramatic shift when Cameron Green pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss Shubman Gill at a vital moment, giving KKR a big advantage.
Gill had been in sublime touch and seemed well heading in the right direction for a deserved century. He was anchoring the chase brilliantly, scoring 86 off just 50 deliveries, including eight boundaries and 4 sixes. Nonetheless, on the ultimate ball of the seventeenth over, Vaibhav Arora executed his plan perfectly with a full delivery outside off stump.
Gill attempted to loft it using an open face but did not generate enough elevation, resulting in his dismissal. Cameron Green ran in quickly from deep backward point and judged the ball well. He took the catch safely and maintained good balance while completing it with a forward tumble.
It was a vital breakthrough, and he celebrated by raising his arms. Shubman Gill was dismissed at 158/4 after 17 overs, giving Kolkata Knight Riders a likelihood to come back back into the match. Watch the video here:
