Klaasen tried to hit the ball over mid-on or midwicket, but it took a leading edge and went high in the air. Vipraj Nigam reacted quickly, sprinting backward from point. He nearly ran past the ball but stayed focused and pulled off an incredible catch.

Due to his brilliant effort, Klaasen had to walk back to the pavilion after scoring 32 runs off 19 balls, hitting two fours and two sixes against Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam.

Aniket Verma’s Heroics Lift Sunrisers Hyderabad

Delhi Capitals had a perfect start, thanks to Mitchell Starc’s brilliant performance in the powerplay against SRH in IPL 2025. Travis Head struggled to find last season’s form and was dismissed for 22 off 12 balls by his Aussie teammate Starc, putting Hyderabad in trouble.

However, Bhopal’s Aniket Verma stepped up for SRH with a superb knock of 74 off 41 balls, smashing five fours and six sixes. Though Mohit Sharma ended his partnership with Klaasen, the duo helped SRH recover and post a respectable total.

Aniket’s 74 was the second-highest score by an SRH batter at No. 5 or below in IPL history, behind Klaasen’s unbeaten 80 off 34 against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024.

Earlier in the day, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss, and captain Pat Cummins chose to bat first. They made one change, bringing in Zeeshan Ansari for left-arm pacer Simarjeet Singh. For Delhi Capitals, KL Rahul returned to the team and replaced Sameer Rizvi.
