It was the first ball of the second over in Rajasthan Royals' (RR) chase against Gujarat Titans (GT). Yashasvi Jaiswal tried to pull Ishant Sharma, top-edged it, and sent it swirling towards point. There was a fielder closer to the ball, but Jos Buttler called for it, ran after it, and spilled it.
"We could have and we should have taken that catch, that would have made a big difference,"
B Sai Sudharsan said after
the game, while adding that it was early on in the game, and "we can't be so harsh". As it turned out, Jaiswal made 31 in 16 balls in the powerplay and his 14-year-old opening partner
Vaibhav Suryavanshi 52 in 20. RR got to 87 after six overs. The two ended up adding 166 in 11.5 overs,
Suryavanshi breaking records on his way to a 38-ball 101 and Jaiswal, very much the support act, finishing unbeaten on 70 from 40 balls. The win came with 25 balls in hand despite the target being 210.
"When we finished [batting], we felt it was par or ten runs over par, is what our feeling was. But the way they started and batted showed us that we were wrong," Sai Sudharsan, who scored 39 in 30 balls to
take the Orange Cap back from Virat Kohli, said.
