The IPL 2025 clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on March 30, 2025, delivered a memorable moment of brilliance. Vipraj Nigam stunned fans with an extraordinary catch to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen, marking a turning point in the game.
Vipraj Nigam ends Heinrich Klaasen’s stay with his fielding brilliance
The highlight of the match came during the 11th over of SRH’s innings. Klaasen, who was in fine form with a quickfire 32 off 19 balls, attempted to loft a full-length delivery from Mohit Sharma over mid-wicket. However, the shot resulted in a leading edge, sending the ball high into the air.
Positioned at backward point, Vipraj sprinted backward to cover significant ground while keeping his eyes firmly on the ball. Despite nearly overrunning it, he adjusted at the last moment to complete an acrobatic catch at chest height before tumbling to the ground.
This incredible effort not only ended Klaasen’s promising innings but also broke a crucial 77-run partnership between Klaasen and Aniket Verma, leaving SRH struggling at five wickets down.

DC register a comfortable win
The catch was part of an overall dominant bowling display by DC. Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav wreaked havoc on SRH’s batting lineup earlier in the innings. SRH struggled to build partnerships, with Aniket Verma’s impressive 74 off 41 balls being the standout performance in an otherwise faltering batting lineup that collapsed to 163 runs.
In response, Delhi Capitals chased down the target with relative ease, thanks to solid contributions from their top order. Faf du Plessis and Jake Fraser-McGurk set a strong foundation with a brisk opening partnership of 81 runs. While Fraser-McGurk was dismissed for 38, Du Plessis ended up scoring 50. Eventually, DC managed to chase down the target in 16 overs.
