Rashid Khan and Manav Suthar misjudged a catch off Kagiso Rabada’s bowling, which seemed like a photocopy of the former goof-up caused by a pair of Pakistani fielders.
The Gujarat Titans at one stage looked to dominate the CSK batters who were struggling for runs. With Sanju Samson dismissed early on this occasion and Kagiso Rabada finishing the powerplay with a double strike, the Titans were at the top of their game in the first 12 overs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad finally managed to break the shackles and hit some big hits after having failed to connect for nearly 6 overs that he had faced until the 12 overs of play. However, he stood firm and scored his first half-century of the season off 49 deliveries.
Rashid Khan and Manav Suthar’s comedy of errors denied Kagiso Rabada a wicket
When Kagiso Rabada returned to bowl the final over of his spell in the 18th over of the game, young Kartik Sharma, looking to pull one over the mid-wicket boundary, managed to loop it, and the ball was in the air for a long time, allowing the fielders to settle down.
However, Rashid Khan ran in from deep mid-wicket, and Manav Suthar ran towards the ball from square leg, but both the fielders left it for the other to complete the catch, and it ended up falling in the vacant space between the two before it went over the fence.
Suthar was, however, the player who was supposed to go for the catch, as he had almost reached the zone first, and Rashid was distant enough to need an extraordinary effort to complete that catch.
