In a moment of pure brilliance during the IPL 2026 clash between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Dhruv Jurel pulled off one of the most spectacular stumpings of the season.

Cameron Green, who had charged in violent mode with 27 in 13 balls, rushed down the track to a Ravi Bishnoi googly, which veered down the leg side. The movement of the batter stunned Jurel to such an extent that with a great leap to his left, he snatched the ball squarely in his left arm and dashed off the bails with a one-handed reverse to the right in one motion—so fast that it was a flash. Green was a good shot off his crease.

The game was watched by Sachin Tendulkar, who posted the clip on social media with the writing: Only one stump visible, in motion and in no time at all! Simply magnificent Dhruv Jurel!”

Kevin Pietersen took it even farther, referring to it as the greatest stumping ever. The sack made the game bend the other way, and RR successfully defended their own goal. It was Dhoni like magic at the stumps amongst the fans.
