At the moment when the in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Heinrich Klaasen was about to take off, Rovman Powell put the red flag on. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fielder takes a stunning catch to dismiss the South African batter.

Cameron Green got his man timely in the first innings of the 45^th match of the IPL 2026 season. Powell just took one of the best one-handed catches in the season. A crucial breakthrough in the contest. SRH suffers a major blow at their home ground, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Rovman Powell takes a one-handed stunner to dismiss the SRH batter, Heinrich Klaasen

After Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, now Klaasen also went back to the dug-out. The body language of the KKR players looks different in today's match. On the 4^th ball of the 11^th over, Cameron Green and Rovman Powell combined to dismiss the middle-order batter of SRH.

Klaasen was on the charge against Green, smashing a six and a four in the two consecutive deliveries in the second and third deliveries of the over. For the fourth ball of the over, the KKR seam bowling all-rounder delivered another luring ball to the batter. The ball was pitched short, on the off side of the stump. But the bowler took off the pace from the ball, and Klaasen fell on the trap.

Powell landed hard on the ground, but did not allow the ball to touch the turf

He whipped the ball to find another boundary between the deep square leg and the deep mid-wicket area. Rovman Powell, who was posted near the deep mid-wicket area, made a good amount of ground to reach the path of the ball. In the end, he stretched his right hand and threw his body into the air to grab the ball with precision. Because of the momentum, Rovman Powell landed roughly on the ground with the ball in his palm.

The third umpire was deployed to check the fairness of the catch. The reply showed that Powell took the catch cleanly without hitting the ball on the turf. A brilliant catch can be a game-changing moment as well. For 117 runs on the board, the home team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, lost their third batter. All of these wickets were massive for them.

The bowlers of KKR has made a massive impact in the game

Like the outstanding catch of Rovman Powell, Varun Chakravarthy is also bowling brilliantly, using the nature of the surface wisely. With Travis Head at the top of the batting order, SRH got a good start inside the powerplay, but the KKR bowlers made the contest in the first innings by taking some crucial wickets in the middle overs of the innings.
