The caravan of IPL 2026 is now rapidly moving towards its last stop. The race for the playoffs has become very tight, while the struggle for first and second place is still going on. In this series, there was a match between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad on 12th May, in which big scores were not made but some drama was seen during it. One such dramatic incident was seen during Sunrisers Hyderabad's innings, when an SRH batsman could not play the shot properly and the ball hit the stump after hitting the bat.

In the match played on Tuesday at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Sunrisers Hyderabad Had got the target of 169 runs. In response to this, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a very bad start and the team lost 4 wickets for just 32 runs in the powerplay. In such a situation, Salil Arora came to the crease, from whom there were huge expectations. Experienced batsman Heinrich Klaasen was also present to support him. But it was not at all easy for both of them to score runs.

Meanwhile, young batsman Salil took 2-3 boundaries and took the team's score forward. Then came the eighth over of the innings, which was being bowled by fast bowler Kagiso Rabada. Arora tried to play the fourth ball of his over, in which he did not get much success. The ball hit his bat and hit the stumps. Arora could not even stop the ball from hitting the stump.

Still Salil was not out

Seeing this scene, the breath of all the SRH fans including Arora stopped for a moment. But when the bails did not fall after hitting the stumps, the Hyderabad batsman heaved a sigh of relief. It is clear in the rules that a batsman can be considered out only if the bails fall. Arora was saved at that time and after this he also scored a four. But in the 10th over he was out on the ball of Prasidh Krishna. He scored only 16 runs. After this, the rest of the batsmen also did not last long and the entire team collapsed for just 86 runs. Gujarat won this match by 82 runs.
