Rahul Tewatia pulled off a fantastic high catch to send Rishabh Pant back early through the Indian Premier League 2026 clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans on the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, April 12. Pant managed 18 runs off 11 balls, hitting one six and two fours before his dismissal.
The breakthrough got here within the fifth over of LSG’s innings when Mohammed Siraj delivered a wobble-seam length ball at 139.9 kmph, shaping it across the batter. Pant attempted an aggressive shot across the road but mistimed it, sending the ball looping towards mid-off.
Tewatia positioned himself perfectly under the skier, kept his eyes fixed till the very end, and accomplished a composed catch despite tumbling to the bottom.
