Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rashid Khan couldn’t make a big impact with the bat in the ongoing game against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The game between the two teams is taking place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday (9th April).
Rashid Khan, who walked out to bat at seven, came out all guns blazing. The Afghanistan National Cricket Team player slammed a six on the first ball that he faced and then followed it up with a boundary on the next ball. After that, he took a double, and with the kind of start that he had, it looked like he would carry on and make a massive impact.
But that wasn’t the case, as Rashid Khan was back in the hut on the 4th ball that he faced. On the last ball of the 19th over, Tushar Deshpande bowled a short-of-length delivery and gave no room to the Gujarat Titans batter. The all-rounder tried to be cheeky and play the no-look flick.
There was no deep fielder so Rashid Khan tried to move across and flick. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was stationed inside the circle, put in a great full-length dive to his right and picked a brilliant catch to send the batter packing.
Here’s the video:
