Rashid Khan pulls off spectacular running catch to send dangerous Travis Head packing for 20 in GT vs SRH IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Gujarat Titans’ (GT) Rashid Khan pulled off a stunning running catch to dismiss SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener Travis Head during their IPL 2025 encounter. The two sides are facing off in Match 51 of the season on Friday, May 2, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The breakthrough came on the third delivery of the fifth over in SRH’s innings. Prasidh Krishna bowled a back-of-a-length ball that Head looked to muscle over mid-wicket, but it came off the top edge. Rashid charged in from deep mid-wicket, covered a fair bit of ground, and held on to a brilliant catch to dismiss the dangerous left-hander.

Head scored 20 runs off 16 deliveries, striking four boundaries during his stay. His dismissal left the visitors at 49/1 after 4.3 overs.
