Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana took an excellent catch to dismiss Rajasthan Royals wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel in the ongoing IPL 2025 match in Guwahati. The CSK pacer dived brilliantly to complete the catch near the third man region.

Playing against Noor Ahmad in the 14th over of the RR innings, Dhruv Jurel tried for a shot over the leg-side. However, Noor deceived with his spin as the ball got a top edge from the bat and flew towards the third man region.

Matheesha Pathirana was in the point region, but he covered some distance quickly and executed a fine dive to complete the catch.
