In the ongoing IPL 2026 match between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Glenn Phillips has again hogged the internet for his superhuman effort. The New Zealand international is known for his fielding skills, but he surprised fans with a never-before-seen effort.
For the unversed, the Gujarat Titans, batting first, put 210 runs on the board, courtesy of fifty-plus scores from Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, and Washington Sundar. In reply, Delhi Capitals openers - Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul played out the powerplay sensibly.

Glenn Phillips Super Human Effort Troubles KL Rahul
Notably, on the 1st ball of the 6th over, KL Rahul mistimed a shot that went high in the air. It cleared the 30-yard circle. Meanwhile, Glenn Phillips ran backwards from the circle and flew in the air to attempt the catch. It was a stellar effort because Phillips shouldn’t have been near the ball in the first place.
The entire stadium was stunned to see the effort. The ball eventually went for a four, but the fans stood on their feet to applaud the effort. KL Rahul, on the other end, surely would have his heart racing as he didn’t expect Glenn Phillips to get close to the ball.
