RR vs GT, IPL 2026: Ravindra Jadeja shows 'Pocket' Celebration after dismissing Buttler - Watch

Ravindra Jadeja delivered a signature moment of magic in Match 52 of IPL 2026 between Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, dismissing Jos Buttler before celebrating by pretending to tuck the England star into his pocket.

Ravindra Jadeja's Special Dismissal

With GT racing at 155/2 in 14 overs and the asking rate hovering around 11, Buttler miscued a delivery from Jadeja. The Rajasthan all-rounder, in RR's pink jersey, leapt in delight and mimed slipping the batter into his trouser pocket. The crowd erupted as the cheeky gesture instantly went viral.

Buttler got dismissed after scoring 13 runs off just 10 deliveries, failing to make the most of his start.

Jos Buttler vs Ravindra Jadeja Dismissal Record

Jadeja's dominance over Buttler is legendary - he has now dismissed the explosive opener 11 times in T20s, conceding just 310 runs off 412 balls faced. The pocket celebration perfectly captured that rivalry and lifted the energy for the Royals.

Jadeja has dismissed the English batter five times in Test matches, while he has picked up Buttler thrice each in ODIs and T20 matches.

RR skipper Riyan Parag, who took over captaincy this season after Sanju Samson's move to CSK, is missing in this encounter due to a hamstring strain. Yashasvi Jaiswal is leading the Royals and is making his captaincy debut in IPL.
