Only one innings has been played so far in the ongoing match between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderbad but even then it has been a very eventful match. From Hardik Pandya’s epic faceoff against Umran Malik to Marco Jansen’s perfect spell. It has been a day of wonderful events at the DY Patil Stadium. However, perhaps the most special moment of the match so far has been the incredible catch of Rahul Tripathi with which he dismissed GT’s in-form batsman Shubman Gill.
It was the very second delivery of the 3rd over of the match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was up against Shubman Gill who looked calm and composed. It was an ill pitched ball by Bhuvi and Shubman Gill tried to punish him by smashing it on the off side from the side of the fielder. However, Rahul Tripathi who was the fielder in concern at that position had some other plans in mind. He jumped at the ball and held it with one hand and landed with the ball safely in his hands. The commentators and spectators could not believe their eyes and even Tripathi’s own teammates were utterly amazed by his sensational one-handed catch.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s reaction said it all and the team went on to hurdle around Rahul Tripathi to praise him for his brilliant catch. In fact, the commentator went on to say that the wicket should be given to the fielder and not the bowler because it was totally Rahul Tripathi’s credit in this one.
