Riyan Parag, the stand-in captain of the Rajasthan Royals, took a stunner to send back Dinesh Karthik, looking for Shivam Dube to the pavilion after scoring 18 runs off 11 balls. This is arguably one of the best catches of the IPL 2025 by Riyan, who took it at his home, Guwahati, on March 30 against the Chennai Super Kings.

Shivam Dube was looking so dangerous, smashing a four and a six on the first two balls of the 10th over of the match to Wanindu Hasaranga. However, the leg-break bowler floats the third ball outside off, and Dube chases the ball and tries out the inside-out shot but fails to keep it down, and Parag dives toward the ball and takes one of the best catches of IPL 2025 to send back Shivam Dube on just 18 runs off 10 balls.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of Chennai Super Kings, won the toss and elected to bowl first in the 11th match of the IPL 2025 against the Rajasthan Royals at Guwahati. With Nitish Rana’s 81 runs off 36 balls and Riyan Parag’s 37, RR put up a total of 182 in 20 overs. Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmad, and Matheesha Pathirana took 2 wickets each, while Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja got 1 each. At the time of writing, RR is in the driving seat, taking 4 wickets of CSK on 120 runs in 15 overs. Ruturaj has completed his half century and is aiming to finish the match with Ravindra Jadeja.
