Ruturaj Gaikwad the skipper of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) unfortunately departed for a duck in just three balls as he was superbly caught by Rashid Khan playing for Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2024 match held in Ahmedabad on Friday (May 10). This exceptional catch placed the defending champions Super Kings in a challenging position with a score of 10/3.
The dismissal occurred in the third over of CSK’s run chase. Umesh Yadav delivered a short-length ball, and Ruturaj Gaikwad attempted a pull shot. Rashid executed a well-timed grab at deep square leg inside the ropes. During the second try, the famous all-rounder made sure his right leg did not touch the rope while catching. The television umpire took his time before calling it out.
