The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Harshal Patel grabbed an absolutely stunning catch to dismiss the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi on Thursday, April 3.
The Eden Gardens in Kolkata is hosting the 15th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi falls after smashing a brilliant fifty
Raghuvanshi had to come out to bat early on in the innings against the Sunrisers Hyderabad as both the openers were back in the hut inside three overs.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi didn't disappoint and he stabilised the KKR innings along with his skipper Ajinkya Rahane. The young batter showcased a batting masterclass and smashed the SRH bowlers all over the park.
However, his innings came to an end in the 13th over of the innings. On the fourth ball of the over, spinner Kamindu Mendis bowled a tossed-up delivery outside off-stump to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who looked to loft over extra cover but ended up slicing it off the outside half of the bat.
The ball went in front of the deep backward point where Harshal Patel came in running and grabbed an absolutely sensational catch. Angkrish Raghuvanshi was dismissed for 50 runs off 32 balls, with 5 fours and 2 sixes.

Ex-India cricketer told KKR to drop Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Speaking on ESPNcricinfo ahead of the KKR vs SRH clash, Sanjay Bangar had advised KKR to drop Angkrish Raghuvanshi from the playing XI and give the opportunity to Venkatesh Iyer to bat at the No.4 position. He said that the decision to play Venkatesh Iyer at the No.5 is not the right one. Sanjay Bangar elaborated:
"Yes, I agree. Because you have made Ajinkya Rahane the captain. And released Shreyas Iyer. I think they are still thinking whether it was the right decision or not. So Raghuvanshi who is playing, In the last season, he came as an impact player in 5-6 matches.
"So playing 11, start of the playing 11, If you are batting first, Then you should not give him space. Because both become very similar players. Ajinkya and Suryavanshi.
"And then it has an effect that Ramandeep goes to 9. Venkatesh Iyer goes to 5. If Venkatesh Iyer goes to 4, then it should be in the lowest position for him. Because Ajinkya Rahane does not play at 4. He has played mostly in the top 3. So there is a possibility of a change there. About which KKR can think."
