Ricky Ponting celebrates and laughs in dugout as Marco Jansen clinches a skier to dismiss KL Rahul for 9 in PBKS vs DC IPL 2026 match [Watch]

Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Marco Jansen pipped wicketkeeper Prabhsimran Singh to take a smart running catch and dismiss Delhi Capitals (DC) opener KL Rahul in IPL 2026 match in Dharamsala on Monday, May 11. The dismissal came in the third over of the Capitals’ chase. Arshdeep Singh bowled a hard length ball on middle and leg, and Rahul looked to whip it away off his hips, but all he managed was a top edge.

Both the keeper and first slip ran to their left, and Jansen made a loud call before completing the catch. The top effort drew a positive reaction from head coach Ricky Ponting, who smiled and clapped alongside teammates in the dugout. Notably, Punjab has dropped a lot of catches as they lost a hat-trick of matches in their previous three games. Meanwhile, Arshdeep dismissed Rahul for the third time in T20s.

KL Rahul perished for just nine runs off eight balls as DC lost their second wicket for 14. The right-hander previously managed 23 and 12 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), respectively.
