Dhruv Jurel pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss Cameron Green during the IPL 2026 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, April 19, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. In the fifth over of KKR’s run chase, Green departed on a brisk 27 off 13, with Ravi Bishnoi taking his wicket.

Bishnoi jumped wide and conceded another run, but he wouldn’t have minded that at all. And why would he do that? He just removed Green, who looked like he was ready to take the game away from the Royals. Bishnoi saw Green dancing down the track and fired down the leg side. The ball went flying and made it extremely difficult for Jurel, who was momentarily blinded by the shot.
However, Jurel kept his composure, diving sharply to his left and collecting the ball cleanly. What followed was sheer brilliance – he unleashed a one-handed throw that hit the stumps straight. Stuck well out of the crease, Green had no chance of getting back. The third umpire took a brief look at the confirmation, but even to the naked eye it looked like a comfortable dismissal.
HOW GREEN FIRE AGAINST RR
After the Knight Riders were set a target of 156, their chase got off to a disastrous start when Ajinkya Rahane and Tim Seifert were both dismissed for ducks to move to 5 for 2 in just 1.2 overs. That’s when Cameron Green came in and immediately attacked, changing the momentum with a fearless move game.
Green immediately looked in sublime touch, slicing anything short and wide and even using Jofra Archer’s pace to scan the boundary well. He raced to 12 off his first four balls, showing intent and confidence. He was equally aggressive against Nandre Burger, smashing a towering six over mid-wicket and finding the fence several times with powerful cuts and drives.
With four boundaries and a six off just 13 balls, Green seemed to be taking the game away. However, just when he looked set for a match-defining knock, Ravi Bishnoi cut his innings short with a smart googly to end the storming cameos.
