Just when it felt like Shivam Dube would inject some aggressive batting towards the middle overs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the home captain, Shubman Gill, grabbed a stunning catch to dismiss the all-rounder.

Before that, it felt that Shivam Dube would keep the hopes of the Super Kings alive, even by a slim chance. It was an important game from Gujarat’s perspective for their chances to be among the top two positions and be part of the first qualifier in Dharamsala.

How Gill pulled off the diving catch that left the CSK dugout stunned

On the second delivery of the 11th over of the first innings, Dube launches Rashid Khan for a massive six into the crowd. The leg spinner tried to cramp the southpaw with the leg stump lined up. But the Indian batter was aware of it and put it into the stands over the deep square leg region.

On the very next delivery against the bowler, the left-handed batter got dismissed. The Afghanistan spinner changed the line outside the off stump. It was also the googly, and Dube had to reach for the lofted shot. He got it off the toe-end as it flew over the extra cover region.

How Dube’s dismissal changed the momentum of GT vs CSK
