Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are playing against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their ongoing IPL 2026 on Tuesday, May 12 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. SRH's star wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan surprised everyone with amazing work behind the stumps to remove star GT batter Jos Buttler early in the game.
Amazing judgement from Ishan Kishan
SRH captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bowl first against the Shubman Gill-led side. However, Jos Buttler was caught behind by Kishan, on a personal score of seven runs off 11 balls, as GT lost two early wickets on just 26 runs.
Butler's dismissal came in the sixth over of the first innings. Praful Hinge bowled the over, pitching a full-length delivery drifting down the leg side, as Jos Buttler attempted to play a scoop shot. However, the England batter only managed to get a thin edge, which was safely collected by the wicketkeeper.
