Gujarat Titans produced a dominant all-round performance against SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with Jos Buttler’s brilliant wicketkeeping effort and Jason Holder’s impactful spell playing key roles in a crushing victory. The standout moment in the second innings came when Buttler pulled off an excellent diving catch to dismiss the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen.
The dismissal arrived on the very first ball of the 11th over as Jason Holder bowled a sharp back-of-a-length delivery that gripped slightly off the surface and climbed awkwardly on the batter. Klaasen attempted to work it fine on the leg side but only managed a top edge behind the stumps.
Buttler reacted quickly, moved smartly to his right and completed a composed diving catch after confidently calling for it. Klaasen departed for 14 off 16 balls, leaving SRH in deep trouble at 56/6 during their chase.
