Jitesh Sharma juggles before holding on to a sky-high catch to send Jake Fraser-McGurk packing for 7 in RCB vs DC IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Jitesh Sharma took a sky-high catch to get rid of swashbuckling opener Jake Fraser-McGurk in the IPL 2025 match between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday, April 10. With the catch, the wicketkeeper helped hurt DC’s run chase, reducing them to 10/2.

The right-hander walked back for seven runs off six deliveries. This was his third failure in four games this season, returning with scores of 0, 38, 1, and 7 (today). The Capitals had retained him for a whopping INR 9 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

The dismissal came in the third over of Delhi’s run chase. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a length ball outside off that seamed away after pitching. Jake took an ugly swipe across the line but only managed a top edge that went high in the night sky.

Jitesh moved to his left and kept his eyes on the ball while juggling around before putting in a dive to complete the catch. The replays showed that he managed his fingertips but showed good reflexes to hold on and prevent it from popping out of his hands.
