Vipraj Nigam ends Heinrich Klaasen's carnage with a stunning catch running backwards in DC vs SRH IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Delhi Capitals (DC) all-rounder Vipraj Nigam once again hogged the limelight, this time with his fielding brilliance in the IPL 2025 clash against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Vizag on Sunday, March 30. After a brilliant direct hit to dismiss opener Abhishek Sharma for just one run, he took a stunning catch while running backward to dismiss Heinrich Klaasen.

The incident took place in the 11th over of SRH’s innings. Mohit Sharma bowled a full-length ball, and Klaasen aimed to smash it over mid-wicket. The right-hander failed to connect it properly, and the ball ballooned up in the air following a leading edge.

Vipraj covered enough ground while running back and kept his eyes on the ball before holding onto it. His teammates mobbed him to applaud his excellent effort.
