Catches win matches!

KKR clinched a dramatic victory thanks to two stunners. In the final over, Suyash Sharma snagged Heinrich Klaasen with a superb grab.

Earlier, Rinku Singh's diving catch at deep mid-wicket dismissed Aiden Markram, halting the SRH chase. These fielding heroics proved decisive.

 

A look at the best catches of the match:

Superman Suyash Sharma Denies Klaasen

Harshit Rana produced a match-winning moment for the Kolkata Knight Riders, dismissing the rampaging Heinrich Klaasen with a superb catch in the final over.

Klaasen, who had single-handedly threatened to snatch victory for Sunrisers Hyderabad, was dismissed with SRH needing just 13 runs for victory.

Rana, bowling the final over under immense pressure, delivered a full and slow ball. Klaasen, looking to continue his six-hitting spree, went for a big slog but only managed a leading edge.

However, the dismissal belonged entirely to Suyash Sharma at short third man. In a breathtaking display of athleticism, Sharma half-turned while moving back, keeping his eye on the ball sailing over his right shoulder. He then dived full stretch to complete a sensational catch, effectively sealing the win for KKR.

Varun Chakaravarthy tightened his grip on the Sunrisers innings with a clever dismissal of Aiden Markram in the chase.

Rinku Singh, stationed at deep mid-wicket, read the trajectory perfectly, sprinted forward and lunged low to complete a superb diving catch.

Markande Takes Screamer to Dismiss Ramandeep

Pat Cummins, the Sunrisers skipper, made a crucial intervention by dismissing the dangerous Ramandeep Singh in the middle overs.

Ramandeep, who had injected life into the KKR innings with a quickfire 35 off 17 balls (including 4 sixes), fell victim to some clever bowling by Cummins.

Ramandeep, attempting a lofted drive over the off-side, only managed a chip off the inside half.

The fielder at cover, Mayank Markande, timed his leap to perfection, grabbing a sensational catch diving to his right.

T Natarajan celebrated a landmark 50th IPL wicket with the crucial dismissal of Shreyas Iyer, leaving the KKR skipper with a golden duck.

Natarajan's magic formula continued to be precise length bowling. Iyer's attempted drive only found the toe of the bat, resulting in a chip towards mid-off.

Pat Cummins, stationed at that very position, produced a sensational leaping catch over his head with remarkable composure. This dismissal put KKR in a precarious position early on.
