Rishabh Pant produced a brilliant one handed catch to send back Yashasvi Jaiswal in the LSG vs RR IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
The incident happened on the fifth ball of the third over. Mohammed Shami bowled from over the wicket and delivered a sharp bouncer with good height. Yashasvi Jaiswal went for the hook shot, but the extra bounce caught the glove and the ball went over the keeper. Rishabh Pant jumped in the air and caught it with his right hand.
It was Shami who had the last laugh, as Jaiswal had hit him for three consecutive boundaries before that wicket ball.
Not only this, on the very next ball, Mohammed Shami struck again as Dhruv Jurel edged it to Rishabh Pant. It turned out to be a very eventful over. After being hit for three boundaries in a row, Shami came back strongly with two excellent deliveries. He bowled it just outside off and got it to move away slightly. Jurel tried to defend, but got a thick outside edge to the right of Pant, who took a simple catch.
In the very next over, Mohsin Khan dismissed the dangerous Vaibhav Suryavanshi. After two good overs with the bat at the start, RR lost three wickets in the next two overs.
