Overview
- Klaasen, whose diving catch in the fifth over on Saturday, April 18, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad came off Nitish Kumar Reddy, removed Ayush Mhatre for 30 off 13.
- Replays showed he clutched the ball in his left hand and then steadied it with his right as he hit the ground.
- The play served as redemption after he had earlier dropped a skied chance from Mhatre in the same over, which let the batter pile on quick runs.
- Mhatre’s burst had put Chennai on the front foot in a chase of 195 before the dismissal shifted the momentum back to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
- Klaasen was fielding in the deep with Salil Arora keeping wicket for SRH, and video of the catch spread quickly through league and media channels.
