Kwena Maphaka times his jump to perfection to pull off a brilliant catch and send Urvil Patel back for a duck in CSK vs RR IPL 2025 game [Watch]

Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Kwena Maphaka produced a moment of brilliance with a perfectly timed leap to dismiss Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) Urvil Patel for a duck in their IPL 2025 clash. The game is being played on Tuesday, May 20, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

The dismissal occurred on the final delivery of the second over of CSK’s innings. Yudhvir Singh Charak bowled a hard-length delivery on a wicket-to-wicket line. Patel attempted to slog it straight down the ground, but the bat twisted in his hands as he made contact. Maphaka, positioned at mid-on, reacted quickly, moved back, and timed his leap perfectly to complete a brilliant catch.

Urvil was dismissed for a two-ball duck, leaving the Super Kings struggling at 12/2 at the end of the second over.
