It happened during the fifth over of the innings. When Prasidh Krishna was brought into the bowling attack, he delivered a bouncer that enticed Head to attempt a pull shot.

However, the execution wasn’t perfect, and the ball went high rather than far. Positioned at deep mid-wicket, Rashid sprinted in and dived full length to his right, executing a textbook slide before grasping the ball safely.

Watch:

As the replay was shown, the audience burst into cheers, acknowledging the sheer brilliance—a catch that showcased athleticism, perfect timing, and unshakable composure.

Travis Head, who appeared threatening after scoring four boundaries in just 16 balls, was caught out for 20 runs — a crucial wicket considering SRH’s history of dynamic openers.

Rashid’s grab not only pushed Head back but also revitalized the Titans’ vigor on the field.

In the earlier part of the game, the Gujarat Titans set an impressive target of 224/6, largely due to strong showings from Shubman Gill (76 runs off 38 balls), Jos Buttler (64 runs), and Sai Sudharsan (48 runs).

Their scorching beginning – 82/0 during the powerplay – established the mood for the entire innings, however, it was Rashid’s spectacular display in the field that really took center stage.

In crucial matches such as these, plays like Rashid Khan’s catch take on significant importance.
