Pant's early exit: Tewatia's skier catch stuns LSG

Rishabh Pant dismissed for 18 by a stunning catch from Rahul Tewatia in IPL 2026 clash. GT starts strong against LSG.

On Sunday, April 12, Gujarat Titans (GT) secured an early advantage against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their IPL 2026 match. Rishabh Pant departed after scoring just 18 runs off 11 deliveries, falling victim to a spectacular skier catch by Rahul Tewatia in the fifth over.

Mohammed Siraj delivered a challenging ball that Pant miscued towards mid-off, where Tewatia completed the catch. This marks Pant's second low score in the tournament, following earlier dismissals against Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, though he did score an unbeaten 68 against SunRisers Hyderabad. Kagiso Rabada also contributed to GT's strong start by taking the wicket of Mitchell Marsh.

As of writing, LSG were at 60/2 after six overs, with Aiden Markram and Ayush Badoni at the crease. GT, who recently won a close match against DC, are looking to build on their previous victory after early season losses. LSG, with two wins from three games, are on a solid run, having recently chased down 182 against KKR.
