Krunal Pandya dismisses Jos Buttler with brilliant delivery in IPL final

In the IPL 2026 final at Narendra Modi Stadium on May 31, Krunal Pandya's key wicket of Jos Buttler helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru gain the upper hand over Gujarat Titans. Buttler, who had been one of GT's top performers, was stumped for 19 runs off 23 balls after Pandya delivered a perfectly executed wide ball outside off stump. His dismissal came at a critical time, as GT struggled to build momentum, ultimately finishing their innings at 155 for 8. Washington Sundar's unbeaten 50 off 37 balls was a silver lining for GT, but Pandya's breakthrough was highlighted by cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who praised the delivery's precision and execution.
