Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals, 9th Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player Highlights

Riyan Parag to Kumar Kushagra, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! That's great catching and boundary awareness from Hety. Was so cool. KK got under this flighted delivery and lofted it high towards long-on. Seemed like a six but Hety, despite being so close to the ropes, stayed calm. Took the catch, released the ball before going over the ropes, came back in to complete the catch again. KK gutted as he looks at the replay. Decent outing for him but he walks back disappointed.
